Crucifixion and a Soldier Receiving the Crown of Life
1920
Two-light window. In the left-hand light Christ is shown on the cross with a female saint, probably Mary Magdalene, below. The right-hand light depicts standing figure of Christ as king, holding a crown and making a blessing as an armoured knight kneels below, offering his sword.

The war memorial window is listed as being by Clayton & Bell in The Buildings of Wales: Glamorgan. However, much of the glass, including the faces, is not by the firm and of a later date; this may be repair work. The angel at the top of the window is consistent with the work of Clayton & Bell of the 1920s.
The text below reads 'Through death to life' and is almost certainly post-1920. (ObjectID=630 ImageID=8270) Original File Name=Llanilltyd_DSC9138.jpgRecord added by Martin Crampin. Last updated on 15-05-2012
