Description
The Williams memorial and railed enclosure, located about 3 metres south of the nave of the Church of St Mary, is a chest tomb dating from the late 18th century. It is constructed from ashlar stone and features cast iron elements. The memorial has bold corner balusters, a moulded cornice, and a flat top, with an inscription panel framed by swags of drapery. The low railings are of rectangular plan, with cast iron standards linked by two rails. The southern inscription reads: "Sacred to the Memory of Sir David Williams Baronet of Goldinoton in Hertfordshire and Clifford Court in Herefordshire... His Soul took its flight from this vale of misery January 21st 1798 in the 32nd Year of his Age." Additional inscriptions are present on other faces. This memorial is a fine example of stone masonry and enhances the setting of the church, contributing to the group value of the other memorials in the churchyard.
