St Michael and All Angels, Moccas, Herefordshire
(Click on an image for a larger version)
St Michael's was built around 1130, on the site of a much earlier 5th century church dedicated to St Dyfrig, or Dubricius (see Madley). The building is of local tuffa with sandstone dressing. The most appealing feature of the church is that it has undergone very little rebuilding or restoration work over the centuries, so that it retains much of its medieval character.
The three dimensional "folds" in this memorial must have made life difficult for the person engraving the lettering. Nevertheless he did a superb job.
