Roberts Monument at Eglwys Mynydd Seion

Grey mica-rich granite, with pink marble dressings, set on a 2-stage limestone plinth. The monument consists of a cubic central section with pink granite columns at each corner supporting a moulded entablature, the frieze etched with a Greek key pattern, and having a segmental cornice to each face. Between the columns of each side is a raised round-headed pink granite tablet with inlaid lead lettering to John Roberts, 1835-1894, and other members of the Roberts family. The plinth has lobes at each corner surmounted by pink granite vases. Above the cornice a tall draped urn carried high on four steps. The monument is enclosed in a generous limestone kerb, which also has lobed corners.
