_Effigies with folded Hands._--On the south side of Llangathen Church,
Carmarthenshire, is a huge monument (of the style well designated as
bedstead) for Dr. Anthony Rudd, Bishop of St. David's, and Anne Dalton, his
wife, 1616, with their recumbent effigies, and those of four sons kneeling
at their head and feet. From all these figures the iconoclasts had smitten
the hands upraised in prayer, and they have been replaced by plaister hands
folded on the bosom. The effect is singular. Is there any other instance of
such restoration?
