Cadw's description
Location
Immediately on the south side of the nave to the east of the porch.
History
The inscriptions on one of the chests are indecipherable, but it is late C18. The second is that of Margaret Willmott, died 1766 and was probably erected soon after the date of death.
Exterior
Two chest tombs of late C18 type. Forest of Dean stone. Rectangular chests with incised faces, corner balusters and lid-stones with cyma recta moulding.
Reason for designation
These C18 tombs are listed for group value with the Church of St Deiniol and the adjoining tombs.
