The Hengoed War Memorial is a processional Cross with brass plaque with names engraved. The Cross had been at St Barnabas’s Church but for many years it was lost. In 2017 it was rediscovered by a WW1 Group in Gobowen (Gobowen, Hengoed and Selattyn War Memorial Commemorative Project). located at All Saints Church, Gobowen.
It is thought that the Cross could have come to Gobowen when All Saints Church was consecrated in June 1928, St Barnabas’s Church fell into disuse in 1979 when dry rot was discovered in the timbers, the Church was demolished in 1985, the cemetery remained –
