Parish History
Waresley Parish Council was formed in 1972, when government legislation decreed that parishes of this size must have one.
In 2009, following an electoral boundary review, Waresley and its neighbouring parish of Tetworth (which had up to this point managed to avoid having a parish council), were amalgamated to form the parish of Waresley-cum-Tetworth.

Role Of Honour
Our war memorial stands in the churchyard of St.James' church. The memorial covers World War One and is fairly unique as it lists the full name, battalion, regiment, theatre of war, and age for each man. The memorial was unveiled in March 1920.
