Description
The Friskney War Memorial is situated in the churchyard of the Church of All Saints, which is a Grade I-listed building, facing The Avenue. This memorial stands 5.3 meters tall and is constructed from white stone. It features a four-stepped octagonal base topped by a small octagonal pedestal, with a tapering cross shaft that supports a foliated cross head.
The east and west faces of the pedestal are inscribed with incised lettering. The inscription on the east side reads: "LIVE THOU FOR ENGLAND WE FOR ENGLAND DIED." The west side bears the inscription: "ERECTED IN HONOUR OF THE MEN OF FRISKNEY WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR MAY THEY REST IN PEACE."
To the west of the memorial, there are three low walls made of brick plinths and stone blind arcades, which contain carved names, places of death, and dates of those from the parish who lost their lives. The curved wall directly behind the memorial was built at the same time as the memorial itself, while the two flanking walls were added after the Second World War.
