Preaching cross, possibly dating back to Anglo Saxon period, at St Nicholas' Church, Trelleck, Monmouthshire, Wales, UK. The church is a central focal point of the village and has an elegant pointed and prominent spire, a font and ancient sundial. A church on this site, probably a wooden structure, was endowed by Kings Ffernwael ap Ithel and Meurig ap Tewdrig who were rulers of Gwent in the 7th and 8th centuries. The Preaching Cross in the churchyard may date back to this time as may the font. The present building dates from the 13th and 14th centuries. The early English Gothic stonework has been dated to between 1225 and 1272, and that of the Decorated Gothic up to 1350.
