Llanrhaiadr, 



I arrived at Llanrhaiadr, The Village of the Ca- 

 iara^i *, which is fituated on a fmall eminence in 

 the midft of this fertile vale. 



The church is a handfome (Irufture, with a large 

 and fomewhat elegant eaft window, containing a re- 

 pref^ntation of the genealogy of Chrill from Jelfe. 

 The patriarch is painted as fprawling upon his bade, 

 with the genealogical tree growing from his ilomach. 

 —I was wanderinfr carelefslv about this buildinp-, 

 when I call my eyes on a tombilone containing the 

 following infcription, which affords a memorable 

 inflance of the pride of anceib y which is inherent in 

 the Welfli character : 



Heare lyeth the body of 



John, ap Robert of Forth, ap 



David, ap Griffith, ap David 



Vaughan, ap Blethyn, ap 



Griffith, ap Meredith,

Covvryd, ap Cad van, ap 



Alawgwa, ap Cadell,

XX day of March, in the 



year of our Lord God 



, , 1643, '^'^"^ <^f 



his age xcv. 



* This is the literal tranflation of the Wcli'h word ; wlienee 

 the name can have been derived I knoiv not, as there is no 

 caiaratl near the place.
