The gate is situated at the Cheddleton War Memorial located beside the parish church of St Edward the Confessor on Hollow Lane in Cheddleton.

The war memorial is solid roofed stone gateway with the wooden gate being the entrance to the extended churchyard/cemetery. The flanking walls bear dedication tablets that commemorate the residents of Cheddleton who were killed or missing in the First World War (28 names), the Second World War (17 names) and in Northern Ireland (1 name).
