Cadw's description
Location
The monument is located close to the east side of the path from the square to the church, approximately 12m N of the entrance gates.
Exterior
Mausoleum, c1820-30. Sandstone. A square body with Tuscan columns inset in the corners, set on a chamfered plinth. Plain entablature and moulded cornice. Pyramidal top terminating in a square block finial. Each side has inscribed panels defined by incised lines, and inscribed with fine lettering to members of the Morris and associated families from 1788 including Edward Morris, 1823, and Mary, his wife, 1830.
Reason for designation
Included as a churchyard monument of more than usual architectural pretension, of group value with the church and buildings in the Square.
