island, and to avail themselves of the benefit of sea-bathing. The parochial church is a handsome structure, consisting of a chancel, nave, and two aisles, with a large square embattled tower. In the vestry adjoining were deposited the remains of lady Beatrice Herbert, daughter of the celebrated mirror of chivalry, the Lord Herbert of Cherbury. Near which lies interred the Rev. Gronwy Davies, with an inscription concluding as follows: "Here lies learning, friendship, love; And innocency of the dove. Within this grave and in the dust His ever courteous body must Until the resurrection lie; Then he shall live and death shall die." The free-school was erected and liberally endowed by David Hughes, Esq., in the year 1603, who ten years afterwards founded also an excellent alms-house for six poor persons, to whom he granted small annuities. He was born about the middle of the 16th century, in a cottage now in ruins. He left the island early in life, in a very humble station, but by prudence and propriety of conduct, he made a decent fortune. "'T is here the active worth of Hughes appears, A blessed asylum for the wreck of years! If there his views the opening mind engage, Here he supports the trembling limbs of age; His breast embrac'd within his godlike plan, At once the morn and evening hours of man! And ye who here his lasting bounty share, Whose tranquil days decline without a care! If still, as night shall close, day greet your eyes, No grateful aspirations reach the skies, Indignant heaven beholds you with a frown, Nor gives the ingrate, life's immortal crown." LLOYD.
