Pickering Monument in churchyard of Church of St Tysilio

The Pickering Monument, located in the churchyard of the Church of St Tysilio, is a Grade II listed structure built of sandstone. It features a square pillar that stands on a two-stage moulded sandstone base and is topped with a moulded capstone that has a gabled design on each face. The monument is enclosed by a stone curb. The inscription on the front honors Exuperious Pickering Snr, an engineer from Ruabon who died in 1835. He composed his own epitaph, which reads: "Here in peaceful solace rest the remains of a man who never rose from his pillow in enmity to any human being, who he was it is needless to name, for if the kind recollections of his friends embalm not his memory, a tomb to record his name were vain indeed." His name is also inscribed on the side for clarity.
