Description

Two early medieval crosses once stood in the churchyard of St Padarn's, Llanbadarn Fawr. The stones now form the centrepieces of a display in the south trancept of the church (NPRN 271). One is a late 10th century free standing monolithic Pillar-cross, with a slender rounded shaft (changing to square above) and a free armed head formed by notching the shaft.
