Seated statues of the four Evangelists, showing St John at the far end of the row, by H. H. Armstead, together with (right) the sculptor's design for St John. The statues occupy niches on the side of the south-west tower of Llandaff Cathedral. St John the the Evangelist is identified by his usual iconography: an eagle, seen in relief just below him.
