[MR] BBC: Rare ME Grave Stone Used as Ornament

[Garth Groff via Atlantia]

Noble Friends,

According to the BBC, a rare inscribed grave stone showing the face of a 
smiling monk has been used as an ornament in a private home for years. 
The 13th century stone is believed to depict a Welsh abbot named Hwyel, 
Abbot of Valle Crusis:

there is an accompanying photo.

Why do so many of the most interesting stories come from Wales?

Yours Aye,
