Summary
A wrought-iron Crucifix made c. 1958 and attributed to Ramón Martí Cebollero (1915-2001). A vertical section supported by a foot made from four incurving pieces; attached to this a gilded Cross with four projecting rays of light, in the centre the crucified Christ figure, a cold cast resin copy of a 15th-century original. Ramón Martí Cebollero (1915-2001) was a Catalan painter mainly of landscapes. He appears the most likely candidate to have made this and another identical Cross in the New Chapel, although he does not appear to be recorded as having worked as a sculptor.
Provenance
Acquired by Charles Henry Robinson (1892 -1985) c. 1958. Bequeathed to the National Trust with Ightham Mote in 1985 by Charles Henry Robinson (1892 -1985).
