Description
The Jenkins Monument is an architectural memorial located in the churchyard of the Church of St Cynwyd. It is made entirely of grey granite and stands within a raised kerb. The base consists of three courses of channel rusticated stone that accommodate the sloping site. The monument features a double-stage chamfered plinth, with a base that has scotia moulding and is inscribed with the name "JENKINS" on the west side.
Above the plinth is a cylindrical central section, which is surrounded by four turned columns that support a cornice and pediment on each of its four faces. The tympana are decorated with leaf motifs and the monogram "SJ." At the top, a large fluted dome serves as a base for a garlanded urn finial that has a moulded lid. The cylindrical section bears gilded inscriptions on the west side, which read "Rees Treharne Jenkins, JP, of Ty'n-y-waun, died 1915," while the south side includes the name of his wife, Margaret. The ridged granite plinth encircles the tomb and features raised blocks at each corner and at the center of all sides.
