War memorial cross of 1922 made by Martin L. Edwards of Llanelli as a memorial to those of the parish who died in the Great War and also to Thomas Morris of Coomb, killed in the Boer War, 1902. It cost £200 and was unveiled by Princess Mary Louise. The site was chosen as being on the way from the former Sarnau station to Coomb.
