Description
The war memorial is located in the churchyard of the Church of All Saints (Grade I-listed), facing The Avenue. It is a 5.3m tall cross built in a white stone, partially encircled by three low walls of brick and stone. The cross has a four-stepped octagonal base with a small octagonal pedestal. The tapering cross shaft supports a foliated cross head.
The east and west faces of the pedestal are inscribed with incised lettering. On the east side this reads: LIVE THOU/ FOR/ ENGLAND/ WE FOR ENGLAND DIED. On the west side the inscription is: ERECTED IN/ HONOUR OF THE/ MEN OF FRISKNEY/ WHO FELL IN THE/ GREAT WAR/ MAY THEY REST IN PEACE.
Behind the memorial, to the west, there are three low walls with brick plinths and stone blind arcades, within which are carved the names, place of death and dates of those from the parish who died. The curved wall immediately behind the memorial was erected with the memorial, with the two flanking walls added after the Second World War.
