The Derby War Memorial was designed by Charles Clayton Thompson and stands before the Derby Guildhall.

It features a bronze figure of the Virgin Mary holding the baby Jesus in her arms by the sculptor George Arthur Walker.

A later inscription, "For Faith/And Home/And Righteousness/World War 1939–1945", was added to recognize those men of Derby who died in the Second World War.
