Christ on the cross with the symbols of the four evangelists, between figures of Mary and John.
Church of St Gabriel, Brynmill, Swansea

The screen was installed in 1914 by Geoffrey Lucas, and presumably the rood figures were added at the same time, indicative of the Anglo-Catholic spirit of the church.
