The efforts of those of the parish who served in the First World War and later conflicts are commemorated at a number of sites around the parish on various types of war memorial. Plaques can be found in many of the public buildings including {St. Andrew's Church D1489} at Aycliffe. At St. Andrew's there is a plaque dedicated to the memory of both a former vicar of the church and his son who was soldier killed in the war - there are not many instances of this type of joint commemoration in the memorials of the county. In the churchyard of St. Andrew's there is a historic memorial cross dedicated to those who served in two World Wars whilst at Newton Aycliffe there was an All-Wars memorial erected in 2008 from three tall shards of Cumbrian slate, dedicated to Peace and Remembrance.
