Derwen Churchyard Cross, Denbighshire
Derwen Churchyard Cross is a 15th-century cross in the churchyard of St Mary's Church, Derwen, Denbighshire. Reaching a height of almost 15ft, the cross rests on a stone plinth upon two tiered steps. The octagonal shaft of the cross is decorated with raised bosses in the form of crowned heads and foliage. The rectangular head of the cross is damaged, lacking its apex. The remaining carved decoration is well preserved, depicting the Crucifixion with the Virgin Mary and St John, the Coronation of the Virgin, the Virgin and Child, and Archangel Michael holding scales and an upraised sword in preparation for Judgement Day. The cross is within the council area of Denbighshire.
