Cadw's description
Location
Immediately to the east of the chancel of the Church of St. Catwg.
History
The tomb is probably very close in date to the stated death date of 1839. The Nicholls were the long time Rectors of Llanmaes and lived in Llanmaes House opposite (qv).
Exterior
Large incised tomb slab of white limestone inscribed to Francis, daughter of Rev. Robert Nicholl of Dimlands and others. The slab is surrounded by a complete rectangle of wrought iron railings 4 x 2 bays, with the main standards having cast vase finials. The spike railings are set into a dwarf stone wall and have a top rail.
Reason for designation
Included as an early C19 churchyard monument which retains its full railings and is the burial vault of an influential local family.
