Description
There are two headstones located approximately 5 metres south of the tower of the Church of St Gwendron. The headstones date from the early 19th century, with the Hill stone possibly dating to the 18th century. The Williams stone is a dressed granite monolith featuring a shaped head, a channelled border, and an incised slate insert. It is inscribed to Francis Williams, who died in 1830 at the age of 78, and his son, William Williams, who died in 1836 at the age of 36. The Hill stone is also a granite monolith, with a shouldered round head and an incised inscription dedicated to K Hill, who was aged 64 at the time of death, though the exact date is not visible.
