"In the adjoining Church Yard
lies interred the Revd Owen Owen
late Rector of this Parish.
He died the 1st day of March 1765
Aged 63.
He was a man of examplary Piety
and extensive charity ;
the warmth of his private friendships
did not diminish his universal benevolence.
His successors will remember
with gratitude his liberality
in building the present Parsonage House
upon his own land and annexing it to
the Property of the Church.

This Testimony
of duty and affection was placed here
by his Nephew O. Owen, Clerk, M.A.
Rector of Llangyniew
Mongomeryshire. 3
