This is the Celtic Cross.
Brompton Cemetary
It’s a Latin cross with a nimbus surrounding the intersection of the arms and stem.
It’s a Christian symbol traced back to the 9th Century and is found in Ireland, Northern Ireland, Wales, Scotland, Cornwall and the Celtic Diaspora worldwide.
Be aware of and embrace your culture.
