In 1856, when the residency condition was lifted, Frost was given an unconditional pardon and he straightaway sailed for [[Bristol]], arriving on 12 July.<ref name="ADB" /> He retired to [[Stapleton, Bristol|Stapleton]], near the city, but continued to publish articles advocating reform until his death there, aged 93, in 1877.<ref>{{cite book|title=The Annual summary, by J.

Frost was buried in the churchyard of the [[Church of the Holy Trinity with St Edmund]], [[Horfield]], Bristol in accordance with his will.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.newportpast.com/nfs/strands/frost/will.htm|title=Newport Past – John Frost's Will|website=newportpast.com}}</ref> In the 1980s Richard Frame found Frost's lost grave site and organised for a new headstone to be created and erected on the site, with the aid of a grant from [[Newport City Council|Newport council]]. The new headstone was unveiled by Labour Party leader [[Neil Kinnock]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.newportpast.com/nfs/strands/frost/grave.htm|title=Newport Past – John Frost's Grave in Horfield, Bristol|website=newportpast.com}}</ref><ref name=stone>{{cite web|url=http://www.newportpast.com/nfs/strands/frost/grave_stone.htm|title=Newport Past – John Frost's Grave Finally Gets A Headstone|website=newportpast.com}}</ref>

A plaque has been added to the wall of The Mynde in [[Caerleon]] reading:<ref name=stone/>

{{blockquote|In the last quarter of the twentieth century we have taken the Right to Vote for granted. This was not always so, and in 1839 after the failure of petitioning the Government of the day, the men of Britain and South Wales sought to change the system through marches and demonstration – this was known as the Chartist Uprising. John Jenkins the owner of Mynde House and Master of the Ponthir Tin Plate Works, concerned for his property, constructed the Mynde Wall in order to keep marauding demonstrators out. The wall in front of you is what remains of his efforts.}}

[[John Frost Square]], in [[Newport city centre]], was named in his honour. A 1978 [[Chartist Mural|mural of the Newport Rising]] by [[Kenneth Budd]] in the square was demolished in 2013. A trust is to be set up to commission a new memorial with £50,000 of funding provided by Newport City Council.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.southwalesargus.co.uk/news/10788679.UPDATED__Michael_Sheen_to_help_found_Chartist_trust_in_Newport/|title=UPDATED: Michael Sheen to help found Chartist trust in Newport|website=South Wales Argus|date=6 November 2013 }}</ref> A planning application was approved on 3 Apr 2019<ref>{{cite web|url=http://planning.newport.gov.uk/swift/apas/run/WPHAPPDETAIL.DisplayUrl?theApnID=19%2F0112|title=Newport City Council – Planning Online|website=planning.newport.gov.uk|access-date=1 April 2019|archive-date=1 April 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190401102733/http://planning.newport.gov.uk/swift/apas/run/WPHAPPDETAIL.DisplayUrl?theApnID=19%2F0112|url-status=dead}}</ref> to set up a quarter-scale replica of the Newport Rising mural in [[Rogerstone]], three miles from the city centre. Kenneth Budd's son Oliver has been commissioned to make it using the original drawings from 1978. In 1991, three statues by Christopher Kelly commemorating the Chartist [[Newport Rising]] entitled ''Union, Prudence, Energy'' were installed outside the [[Westgate Hotel]] in [[Newport, Wales|Newport]].
