Type of Memorial: Cross
WMR Reference Number: 3717
Description: Cross in the form of a canopied crucifix on an octagonal shaft and square plinth. Plinth stands on a two step base, mounted on large square platform. Incised dedication and names picked out in either red or black, on all four faces of the plinth. A welsh slate tablet with incised dedication and names was made in 2001 in case future weather damage made the original stonework of the cross unreadable, and It was set on a slightly sloping concrete base adjacent to the cross pedestal. It was later taken inside St Andrew's church and now stands upright in the south-east corner, adjacent to the altar. See wmr 59703
