From the Monumental  Inscriptions of Old Radnor Church published by Powys Family History Society.
Samuel Davies (Bilmore) died 14th  June 1893 aged 64
Martha Angelena (wife) died 11th  January 1905 aged 76.

Next grave:
Arthur, son of Samuel and Martha Davies (of Womaston)
Died Dec 26th 1881 aged 20.

(A possible connection)
Elsewhere,  another stone records the burial place of Jane Davies,  wife of Samuel and daughter of Richard and Jane Barnbrook
Born September 19th 1809, died March 5th 1841.

Bilmore  Farm still exists, it's on the opposite end of Old Radnor Hill, to Old Radnor Church.
Womaston is in the bottom of the Radnor Valley.

Only just noticed this post and having recieved my great Grandmothers birth cert yesterday I know she came from Kington. She was called Alice Beatrice DAVIES. Her father was Matthew Davies and her mother was Susannah Davies nee Carmel or Carnel. My Ggrandmother was born on 29/05/1881 at the Ryse, Lyonshall, Kington R.E.D

Is there any connection to your family I wonder?

Thanks for the info about martha angelina,but there is a slight discrepancy in the data i have ie.she was born in richmond surry in 1828 sems like a long time to be baptised.
i have her on the 1851 census aged 22 an annuate when shen was staying a the harp inn in old radnor which was run by evan worthing there were other bowens there but i cant see the connection.
i also had her parents as samuel and martha but have no info on them either.
do these dates make sense ?

sorry its a typo I meant 1827.

Bowen is a local name to the area, and a Samuel Bowen married a Martha WIlliams in Shropshire at a date where they could be Martha's parents
