Just outside the S doorway of the parish church of Newtown Conbun is the graveslab (dims 1.82m x 0.77m; T 0.2m) of Henry Brown who died in 1581. The Latin inscription is carved in false relief in roman letters and a shield is surmounted by three crosses. The inscription has been read by Conwell (1872-3, 380) as: [Hic ja]cet: Henricus: Browne: qui: obit: undecimo: die: Maii: Anno: Domini: 1581. cujus. animae. propicietur. Deus.
