The war memorial, in remembrance of men from Hayton and the nearby hamlet of Tiln lost in the First World War, was unveiled on 5 January 1921 by the vicar of Hayton, the Rev CB Collinson and dedicated by the Archdeacon of Newark, the Ven Egbert Hacking. It was designed and made by Sharpe & Hoggard (of Retford).
The war memorial by Sharpe and Hoggard of Retford, in the churchyard of the Church of St Peter, Hayton, unveiled in 1921, is listed at Grade II for the following principal reasons:
* Historic interest: as an eloquent witness to the tragic impact of world events on the local community, and the sacrifice it made in the conflicts of the C20;
* Architectural interest: it is a thoughtful design in the form of a stone obelisk;
* Group value: conferred by its close proximity to the Grade I listed church of St Peter.
