Description
The two chest tombs are located on the south side of the Church of St Cynwyd. The first tomb is made of fine sandstone and features raised corner blocks, with the side panels inscribed and the end stones displaying oval panels. It has a chamfered top ledger slab and is dedicated to Rachel Powell of Gilfach, who died in 1839 at the age of 1 year, along with others added later. The second tomb is constructed from limestone and includes panelled end pilasters, raised side panels with inward radiused corners and floral designs, as well as a moulded ledger and base. This tomb is dedicated to Elizabeth Jenkin of Gelly, who died in 1809, and her husband who died in 1832. The chest is surrounded by cast iron railings with fleur-headed terminals set on a stone plinth, and there is also a simpler narrow grave slab nearby that carries the date 1701.
