If you visit Ilam then you can't miss its landmark... The Ilam Cross. It stands on a 3 step plinth in the centre of a roundabout in the village and is Grade II listed. It is a memorial cross for the wife of Jesse Watts-Russell, Mary, consisting of two tiers of statues surmounted by a spire with a cross on the top. Made from local limestone in an ornate gothic-style design this landmark was refurbished in 2011.
