Description
when tucked into a corner is this fantastic early Christian grave stone.
Dating from the 6th C, the stone was originally sited at a lost Capel Bronwen, it was then taken to Ty'n Rhosydd at Llantrisant (Anglesey) where it was set up as a rubbing post, then as a gate post, hence the holes, and then as a chopping block!!!
Eventually it ended up at Trescawen/ Tre-Ysgawen Hall near Llangefni where it was studied and translated. Finally brought to the museum in Bangor circa 1950. It is important not just because it is a long and detailed inscription, most common memorial inscriptions of this period are fairly limited to HIC IACIT X FILI Y
But this stone firstly is dedicated to a woman, sadly her name lost, being damaged on the top left corner. Despite this, the inscription goes into great detail about the virtue and piety of her husband, a priest. The early Catholic church allowed marriage.
Secondly, the stone is evidence of an organised church in Anglesey.
