Narrative
The top layer of the front of the stone is eroded away, and much of the text is difficult or impossible to make out. This is what I was able to read when I visited in May 2023:
In memory of James son of the late Mr Lewis Prees ...
apparitor ... Llandaff
Wise ...
hav ...
...
Rev Chancellor ...
The middle section was in a different style of text and looked to be a poem or epitaph; the bottom section is obviously referring to James being the gardener to the Rev Chancellor Williams.
