The Worthenbury War Memorial commemorates those local people who died in World War I. The memorial takes the form of a plaque inside St. Deiniol's Parish Church.
Worthenbury is a village and ecclesiastical parish in the community of Willington-Worthenbury in the County Borough of Wrexham, and sits directly on the border with England. It is primarily a farming community.
Until 1974 the area was part of historic Flintshire and, between 1974 and 1996, part of the county of Clwyd.
