Roberts Monument at Eglwys Mynydd Seion

The Roberts Monument at Eglwys Mynydd Seion is a Grade II listed structure made of grey mica-rich granite with pink marble dressings, set on a two-stage limestone plinth. The monument features a cubic central section with pink granite columns at each corner, which support a moulded entablature. The frieze is decorated with a Greek key pattern and has a segmental cornice on each face. Each side of the monument has a raised round-headed pink granite tablet with inlaid lead lettering commemorating John Roberts, 1835-1894, and other members of the Roberts family. The plinth has lobes at each corner, topped with pink granite vases. Above the cornice, there is a tall draped urn elevated on four steps. The entire monument is enclosed by a generous limestone kerb, which also features lobed corners.
