Hickling St LukeWar Memorial
South Aisle
 The war memorial is on the south wall, next to the door. It is of marble and was made by Tom Drake, stonemason of Melton Mowbray, who had been a fellow student with some of the fallen. He also made the war memorial outside the village hall which was then the church hall.
The inscription reads:
TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND IN PROUD AND GRATEFUL
MEMORY OF THE MEN WHO GOING FORTH
FROM THIS PARISH LAID DOWN THEIR LIVES
FOR THEIR KING AND COUNTRY IN
THE GREAT WAR AUG 4 1914 TO NOV 11 1918.
