This carved bell appears to be a tribute to the fact that the bells at Gresford church are one of the seven wonders of Wales and whilst the road junction did in former years have a tree on the site along with the base of an old cross (just visible in the background) it had long since disappeared. However this finely carved tree stump has replaced what was "The old cross tree" with a welcome to the village in English and Welsh.
