Monument in St Peter's Church, Carmarthen, Wales, to Sir w:Rhys ap Thomas (1449–1525), KG, of Carew Castle, Pembrokeshire. Text from: stpeterscarmarthen.org.uk[1]: Sir Rhys ap Thomas was buried in the church of the Franciscan Friary that formerly stood in Friars’ Park, which is now the site of Wilkinson’s store. However, after the Dissolution of the Friary in 1538 the tomb was moved to St Peter's Church. At first the tomb was placed in the north east corner of the chancel. In 1866 the tomb was restored by w:George Rice-Trevor, 4th Baron Dynevor (1795–1869), a direct male-line descendant of Sir Rhys ap Thomas. Following the restoration the tomb was placed beneath the arch between the chancel and the Consistory Court, where the church organ stands today. The tomb was moved to its present location in the south aisle in 1886
