interest in the newport rising was kept alive through occasional articles in the "monmouthshire merlin" and "south wales argus". in 1939, to commemorate the centenary of the rising, newport borough council erected a plaque on the post office building near the birthplace of john frost. in the 1960s, redevelopment of newport led to the creation of a central square which was named john frost square. the chartist mural (see below) was situated in an underpass leading to the square. newport museum has a display relating to the uprising which includes homemade weapons. in 1991 three statues, 'union, prudence, energy' by christopher kelly, commemorating the uprising were installed on commercial street at the front of the westgate hotel. in 2015 it was announced that duffryn high school was to be renamed john frost school. an annual 'chartist convention' is held in the city.
