Memorial to Alfred and Jessy Crawshay in S Cemetery of Llanelly Parish Church

The memorial to Alfred and Jessy Crawshay is located in the cemetery of Llanelly Parish Church. This large, naturalistic monument features a tall crucifix set on an imitation rockery base, enclosed within a low, keyhole-shaped railing. Both the crucifix and the base are made of white marble. The crucifix is intricately carved to resemble tree bark and is adorned with an elaborate intertwined passion flower vine, complete with leaves and flowers. The base is designed to look like a small grotto or rockery, with inscriptions on the faces of three main boulders.

The inscription for Alfred reads: "Alfred Crawshay of Dan-y-park. Late Captain in the 17th Lancers. Died in London April 25th 1864 in his 41st year. Not lost but gone before." The inscription for Jessy states: "In loving memory of my mother Jessy Crawshay July 17th 1889. Here the wicked cease from trembling and there the weary are at rest." The inscription for Psyche says: "Our little darling Psyche died June 26 1889, 11 months old. Only an angel sent to show me the way to Heaven."

The enclosure features low railings that are keyhole-shaped in plan, with a lower projecting bar at the front (east). The railings are notably unusual, possibly made in Merthyr, and display a repeated geometrical knobbly twig pattern, standing about 30 cm high. The stanchions are also knobbly, and there are matching paired gates at the end of the bar. The rails are set on a low stone base.
