Penrhyn Parish War Memorial was dedicated in 1921 to the memory of the local men who died in First World War. The name of Gerald Hender, who died in the Second World War, was added later. See below for his details.

Full details of all the men are contained in the book Knights of Penrhyn, available from the Conwy county archives at the Old Board School, Lloyd Street, Llandudno, or the Llandudno Museum, 17-19 Gloddaeth Street. Proceeds to ‘ABF - The Soldiers’ Charity’.

Not named on the war memorial is Ernest Hansom, a local man who served with the RAF in the Second World War and died during an RAF training flight in 1950.
