Cadw's description
Location
Situated in railed front court of Capel Bethel, Rhiw Ial.
History
Obelisk memorial to John Parry (1835-97), turned out of Plas Llanarmon farm because of his campaign to have tithes paid by estate owners not tenants. The monument was made by Bowen & Florence of Aberdeen.
Exterior
Obelisk, polished red granite. The obelisk has chamfered angles and is on tapering pedestal with corniced cap and acroterial angle finials, the pedestal with memorial inscription: 'Eglwys rydd a gwlad rydd. Y golofn hon a godwyd gan wladwyr Cymru er cof am John Parry Llanarmon arwr rhyddid gwladol a chrefyddol'. Plinth below, moulded with chamfered angles and polished panels, unpolished elsewhere. Unpolished granite base with polished panels and chamfered upper edge. Base is on thin white marble chamfered top to rock-faced stone plinth.
Reason for designation
A handsome late C19 granite memorial, of local historical interest and of group value with the chapel and chapel-house.
