The marble sides stand proud of fluted end pilasters, and capped by a boldly gadrooned cornice, the low attic above moulded. At the E end, bold relief carvings of putti with trumpets and on the W end a mantled shield bearing arms. Inscribed on the face to Thomas Jones of the Hall, Llantysilio, d.6th May 1761, his wife added 1787.
Included as a handsome and well preserved example of a mid C18 graveyard monument.
