Hello David.
Many is the time I have wet the surface of an eroded gravestone, it works,
the letters seem to reflect the sky
making them much easier to read. You will need to look across the stone
rather than directly at it.
Enjoy your visit to LLantrisant, it really is a city set on a hill.
Regards to all on St David's Day
