Summary

Description
English: Flag of an early version of the Flag of St David defaced with the shield of the coat of arms of the Diocese of Monmouth in canton (upper left).

Loosely based on description at [1] stating "By the 1930s it had become customary in England to add the shield of the diocese to the canton (upper left) of the patron saint flag. In 1938 this was enshrined when a warrant of the Earl Marshal compelled the use of a shield.

This idea captured the popular imagination in Wales, which led to the development of a new design, a yellow flag with a black cross, reversing the colours of the flag of St David. It was unofficially used at churches across Wales until 1954." Derived from:
