Friern Barnet Parishioners War Memorial, World War I memorial in Friern Barnet, United Kingdom
The stone Latin cross stands in the churchyard of St James the Great on Friern Barnet Lane, featuring inscriptions around its base.
The memorial was dedicated in 1921 to commemorate eighty-five men and two women from the parish who died during World War I service.
The names of local soldiers were originally carved into the memorial's plinth to maintain a connection between the community and its fallen members.
The memorial site contains ten Commonwealth War Grave Commission graves and four additional graves of war casualties in the surrounding churchyard.
In 2009, St James's Church transformed into a Greek Orthodox place of worship while maintaining the memorial's original commemorative function.
