Description
An unusually designed pre-First World War memorial, using probably locally manufactured materials. It is situated on the south side of the A5 road next to the graveyard of St David's Church. It was erected in 1909 by public subscription to commemorate deaths of Private William Williams of Royal Welch Fusiliers and Private John James of Grenadier Guards in 1900 during South Africa War (Boer War). It was subsequently flanked by tablets commemorating dead of First World War and the Second World War.
The monument is a free-standing memorial in pale green and white moulded and glazed faience blocks with dark green cast-iron drinking bowl above a segmental arch, with a recessed and inset inscribed tablet and floral leaf decoration below a semi-circular arch with acanthus key-stone. Cast emblems of Royal Welch Fusiliers to left and Grenadier Guards to right. Rubble stone rear support wall and flanking walls with marble First and Second World War tablets. (Cadw Listing database)
