The Cenotaph at Stockport CC was erected after the First World War to honour those 16 club members who gave their lives between 1914 and 1918, and a further inscription was added to commemorate the two members who died in the Second World War.

The memorial is a stone pillar sited at the north east corner of the ground to the left of the pavilion on the grass banking which surrounds the cricket pitch. The memorial has inscriptions by Rudyard Kipling, Rev. TE Royde and a passage from Macabees as well as the names of all the members who gave their lives in combat.

Before the first game of each season a wreath is laid on the steps of a cenotaph by the club chairman and the captain of the team playing at home with a minutes silence is observed in memory of those who gave their lives for their country.
