Wales offers plenty of examples of early Christian sculpture and inscribed stones, dating from the 6th century. At Margam, visitors can see an outstanding collection from this one corner of the South landscape, all housed in a charming early church schoolhouse. The collection includes a number of important pre-Conquest early Christian memorials, from the sub-Roman era right through to the hugely impressive "cart-wheel" crosses of the late 10th and 11th centuries.

Notable exhibits include the great Cross of Conbelin, an elaborately and extensively decorated disc-headed cross of the 10th century, the 9th century Cross of Einion and a 6th century memorial with both Latin and Irish Ogam inscriptions. The collection also includes a number of grave-slabs from the medieval Cistercian abbey at Margam.

1 April to 31 March: 10.30am - 4.00pm Wednesday to Sunday only
