St Gredifaels Tomb, Laser survey
We were commissioned by the Church of Wales to laser survey the tomb with St Gredifaels Church, Penmynydd. The church is originally said to date from the 6th century, the present church dates from the 14th century. The tomb within the church dates from 1385 which is a memorial to Gronw Fychan ap Tudur ap Gronw and his wife Myfanwy of Plas Penmynydd. Gronw Fychan was an uncle of Owain Tudur who married Katherine de Valois (of the French royal family). Their son Edmund was the father of Henry VII who became the first Tudor king in 1485.
The outcome of the survey was to produce a 3d model of the tomb and display it in an interactive environment via the web.
