Martin Nicholson's Cemetery Project

St Mary, Llanfair Caereinion, Powys

Return to the front page

Our first cemetery in Wales. Most of the gravestones were made of slate which is easy to read and the stones were arranged in neat rows. Quite a few of the stones had the occupation of the deceased included in the text which is something that is far less common in England.


Aged 100.


"Tailor & Draper of this Town".


"Carrier of this Town".


Our first Welsh language memorial.


"Earthen-ware Dealer in this Town".


The age, 77, has been engraved using two upside down 2's. We think!


"Surveyor of roads in this Parish".
