In 2007, War Memorials Trust awarded a grant of £315 towards the cost of cleaning and re-lettering the memorial.
Broad Chalke War Memorial, which stands to the south of the church of All Saints', is listed at Grade II for the following 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;
* Design: a well-executed granite cross;
* Group value: with the nearby Grade I listed church of All Saints’.
