Wales, Llanrhaeadr, Llanrhaydr

"Here lies Maurice Jones of Llanrhaydr esq, son of Humphrey Jones of Ddol (:Llanelidan) esq by Jane his wife daughter of Eubull Thelwall of Nantclwyd esq

He married Jane daughter of Walter Bagot of Staffordshire bart by whom he had one daughter who died an infant

He was a gentleman .... ine parts of body and mind

His conversation was diverting, innocent, pleasant and instructive

His hospitality was discreet though publick, his charity unbounded though secret

The former gain'd jhim the affections of all that knew him here

And he now enjoys the reward of the latter

He died ye 10 of January in the year of our Lord 1702 of his age 30

Out of pious respect his widow caused this to be erected"
