Description
The hooded tomb in the churchyard of Saints Mael and Sulien is regarded as the most elaborate of the Welsh hooded tombs. The base features one by two arches, with fluted pilasters at the corners and between the side arches. Above the base is a frieze carved in relief with formalized foliage, and a ledger that is moulded at the edge and shaped to follow the projections of the pilasters. The hood takes the form of a freestanding arch, adorned with carved rolls and trefoil-headed sunk panels on the exterior. On the inside face of the hood, there is an angel on one side and a skull positioned between two heraldic shields on the other side.
The ledger bears the inscription: "Loe my sad pledge one last adieu is here recorded to thy view. Reader behold my losse so deare. Spare thy censure, shed a teare."
