Rood

1908
Richly decorated rood on a beam high above the chancel steps with the symbols of the four evaneglists on the arms of the cross.
size: 250 cm (height) [approx]
Church of St German, Roath, Cardiff
above the entrance to the chancel
As a result of a Mission preached in February 1908 the decision was taken to replace the simple rood then in situ. Made by Farmer & Brindley to G. F. Bodley's design, it was brought here from St Paul's Church, Lorrimore Square, London. (By coincidence, the Revd C. J. Smith, who was to be vicar of St German's 1917-20, was a curate at St Paul's 1904-7, when this rood was in its original home.)
