The monument itself is of Carrara marble, designed by Hamo Thornycroft, R.A. It consists of a life-size recumbent figure with watching angels at the head and the feet. With the help of Mr. Watts, R.A., and his knowledge of the original, the sculptor has produced a wonderful likeness, recalling to all who knew him the characteristics of Mr. Stanley’s fine head and impressive features. Mr. Watts, who has himself followed the progress of the memorial for many years with keen interest, considers it one of the finest works of art of modern times. The inscription runs thus:— William Owen Stanley of Penrhos, Lord Lieutenant of Anglesey, for 34 years a Member of the House of Commons, twin son of the 1st Lord Stanley of Alderley and his wife Lady Maria Josepha Holroyd. Born 1802, Married 1832, Ellin, daughter of Sir John Williams, Baronet, of Bodelwyddan. Died 1884, and buried in this Church, whereof he restored the fabric. A scholar and an antiquary, he dwelt among his own people in the Island of Holyhead, and gave a long life to their welfare. Erected by the desire of Ellin, for 44 years his devoted wife. Over the arch of the recess behind the tomb are engraved these words: “Till the day dawn and the shadows flee away.” Mrs. Stanley’s wish that there should be no monument to herself has been respected, but the effigy of her husband has been encircled with wrought ironwork, entirely formed of her initials E and S intertwined, an idea suggested by St. Anselm’s Chapel in Canterbury Cathedral. The stained glass windows were designed by Sir E. Burne Jones and executed by William Morris, and one of them bears the inscription: “To the dear memory of Ellin Stanley, died at Penrhos, November, 1876.” This aisle, as a tribute to their joint memories, is now dedicated to the glory of God, and given by Jane H. Adeane to that church which has, on its rock beside the sea, stood firm for over thirteen centuries. “The foundation of God standeth sure.” Outside the aisle is carved the following Welsh inscription:— CHWANEGWYD YR CAPEL NEWYDD YMA AT HEN EGLWYS GYBI SANT (SEILWYD ODDEUTU Y FLWYDDYN O.C. 550) YN Y DRIUGEINFED FLWYDDYN O DEYRNASIAD Y FRENHINES VICTORIA O.C. 1897. DY ORSEDD DI O DDUW SYDD BYTH AC YN DRAGYWYDD. Of which the following is an English translation:— To this Ancient Church, founded by St. Cybi about A.D. 550, this Chapel was added in the 60th year of the reign of Queen Victoria, A.D. 1897. “Thy throne, O Lord, is for ever and ever.” Church of St. Cybi.
