Cadw's description
Location
On the S side of the church NW of the lych gate.
History
A late medieval churchyard cross modified in 1925 when it was refashioned as a memorial.
Exterior
A short cross shaft on a square base and high stepped coursed-rubble plinth. The base, of conglomerate stone, has moulded corners, and on the E side a panel has been cut in with a memorial inscription to Rees Jones (d. 1925). The short tapering cross shaft is chamfered and is surmounted by a carved cross of 1925.
Reason for designation
Listed as a substantially surviving medieval structure and for group value with the church.
