Cadw's description
Location
Immediately to the south of the south east corner of the nave.
History
Four tombs arranged thus:
Elizabeth Morgan, died 1798.
Lawrence Ford, died 1731
John George, died 1694
Thomas Bevan, died 1785
Three appear likely to have been erected soon after the date of death, that of John George may be later.
Exterior
Four chest tombs of late C18 type. Forest of Dean stone. Rectangular chests with incised faces, corner balusters and lid-stones with cyma recta moulding. The tomb of Lawrence Ford is of a slightly different design from the others.
Reason for designation
These C18 tombs are listed for group value with the Church of St Deiniol and the adjoining tombs.
