Description
The pair of chest tombs located at the Church of St Saeran date from the late 17th century and are made of sandstone. Each tomb features a stone top with relief-carved guilloche edge decoration, resting on a rectangular chest that has three bays of blind arcading on the sides, with grooved decoration. The ends of the tombs have shallow round-arched niches with decorative spandrels and relief-carved heraldic shields on the eastern side, which display the arms of the Lloyd family.
The southernmost tomb has a Latin inscription on its western end dedicated to Elizabeth, the wife of S Lloyd, who passed away in 1690. The adjacent northern tomb is uninscribed but is believed to belong to her husband, S Lloyd, and is likely the earlier of the two. This northern tomb has various later inscriptions on its tombstone, with the earliest dating to 1756 and the latest to 1853. The southern tomb also features similar 18th and 19th-century secondary inscriptions.
