In a corner of the churchyard, next to the road and school.

The war memorial stands at the corner of St Mary's churchyard, next to the school and the road. The inscriptions are faded and difficult to read but a list of names can be found at https://wilbynorthants.files.wordpress.com/2014/07/war-memorial-names1.pdf and https://wilbynorthants.files.wordpress.com/2014/07/war-memorial-names21.pdf

It is located in Church Lane.

St Mary’s Church dates from the 13th century when the previous Norman church was rebuilt. It is constructed with local pale banded limestone and deep brown ironstone, and stands within raised churchyard. Parts of the church, particularly the Chancel, were rebuilt/restored during Victorian times when the vestry and organ chamber were added and the stained glass windows inserted. The south aisle remains unchanged with traces of medieval glass to be found. The tower and spire, in the Decorated Style is considered to be one of the most attractive in Northamptonshire (https://www.achurchnearyou.com/wilby/ A Church Near You). The tower is square at the base, then octagonal with a spire and a parapet of quatrefoils with corner pinnacles and miniature flying buttresses. The tower contains a peal of six bells and has an excellent and enthusiastic team of bell ringers. The church is a Grade II* listed building (List entry Number: 1040680 https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1040680 Historic England).

A big church for a little village, and with a remarkable tower and spire with flying buttresses and a parapet like a crown.
