There are actually two carved crosses at Penmon, though one is by far the more interesting. But before we take a look at the crosses let's cover some background. The priory church of the medieval Augustinian monastery at Penmon now serves as the Penmon parish church. The medieval priory was founded on the site of a much earlier 6th century Celtic priory established by St Seiriol, who is said to be buried on nearby Puffin Island.

The small village of Pennal is located on the banks of the Dyfi, just a few miles west of the market town of Machynlleth. Machynlleth bills itself as the ancient capitol of Wales, for it was there in 1404 that Prince Owain Glendower (Glyn Dŵr, Glyndower, or Glyndwr if you prefer variant Welsh spelling), held his famous Parliament. As for Pennal, it is linked to the last Parliament called by Glyndower, two years later in 1406.
