Cadw's description
Location
On W side of the churchyard.
History
Erected in memory of Richard Baker-Gabb of Abergavenny who died in 1919. Possibly also by W D Caroe who restored the churchyard cross in 1918 and the church 1908-9.
Exterior
Arts-and-Crafts style lych gate of snecked rubble stone and gabled stone-tile roof. The interior is barrel vaulted with recesses containing stone benches and an inscription band commemorating Richard Baker-Gabb of Abergavenny (d. 1919). Double wooden gates to the front have cast iron fleur-de-lys finials.
Reason for designation
A strong component in the setting of the church, and for group value with other items in the churchyard.
