Cadw's description
Location
Situated in the churchyard at Llanfrynach just S of the church.
History
Churchyard cross, 1910, a copy of one at Merthyr Mawr, Glam., erected to William de Winton of Ty Mawr (1823-1907), H. L. Frances de Winton, his wife, died 1862, and Mary J. E. de Winton died 1909.
Exterior
Churchyard cross, carved grey stone. Three steps, the top step curved forward on S. Square base with deep-chamfered top, inscribed on N and S 'Mary was that mother mild ...' and 'O God the Son Redeemer ..' . Cross has slim octagonal shaft with concave diagonal faces, narrowed at top to an octagonal capital under a finely carved cross with Crucified Christ on S side and Virgin and Child on the N.
Reason for designation
Included for its special interest as a well-carved churchyard cross, of group value with the parish church.
