Under the easternmost arch of the presbytery on the south side is a mutilated figure of a priest (No. 20) in the eucharistic vestments of Bishop Gower’s time, which is commonly attributed to Giraldus Cambriensis,[86] but on slight authority. The head rests on a double cushion supported by angels, the hands are clasped (holding the Host) and the feet lie on a dog. Opposite in the south choir aisle is a fine slab (No. 22), with a cross floriated with branches in relief. The chamfered edge bears the following inscription in Lombardic letters: SILVESTER: MEDICUS: IACET: HIC: EIVS[que] RUINA: MONSTRAT: QVOD MORTI: [non]: OBSISTIT: MEDICINA: [Silvester the physician lies here, and his dissolution proves that medicine withstands not Death.] Under the easternmost window in this aisle is the effigy of a vested priest with raised hands. The recess is Decorated, and has a foliated canopy which is remarkable as being the only instance of ball-flower in the church except that in the Decorated stage of the tower. In the westernmost bay (No. 21) is a much worn tomb of an ecclesiastic holding a book in his right hand. The easternmost bay of the north side of the presbytery (No. 13) is occupied by the monument to Thomas Lloyd, Treasurer (d. 1613). The inscription states that it was here placed by his son Marmaduke: Counsel-at-law of the Middle Temple. It is shown on page 45. At its back is a Decorated recess, but the effigy has gone. The inscription is:[87] MARMADUCUS LLOYDE ARMIGER JURISCONSULTUS ET MEDII TEMPLI SOCIUS HOC FECIT IN PERPETUAM PATRIS SUI CHARISSIMI THOMÆ LLOYD HUJUS ECCLESIÆ CATHEDRALIS THESAURARII MEMORIAM QUI OCTAVO DIE MENSIS MARTII AÑO REGNI SERENISSIMI REGIS JACOBI DECIMO OBIIT ET HIC JACET. In the north transept are the tomb of St. Caradoc (see p. 55), and the effigy of a priest beneath a Decorated canopy. In the south transept, near the nave, is an incised slab with a floriated cross having the head of a priest appearing above it through an opening in the stone. [Illustration: ABRAHAM STONE (CELTIC).] In the east wall of this transept are two fragments of very ancient Celtic slabs. The more important of the two is to Bishop Abraham, and was found in 1891 in the east wall of the ante-chapel.[88] It is inscribed with curious characters: PONTIFICIS ABRAHAM FILII HIC HED[OM] T ISAC QUIESCUNT. A very fine interlacing Celtic cross springing from a root is the principal attraction of the stone. The uncarven outer circle terminates at the head with a neat little Maltese cross having an incised border and a slight depression at the end of each arm. The Greek alpha and omega appear in the corners, and below are the sacred monograms. Bishop Abraham (1076-78) was killed when the Northmen pillaged St. David’s in 1078, but it is not known in what way his sons were especially gifted that so fine a memorial should have been erected to their memory.
