Description
There are two headstones located 12 metres to the northeast of the chancel of the Church of St Keria. One headstone commemorates Grace Holken, the wife of William Holken, who died in 1799. This rectangular slate headstone features decorations of two cherubs blowing trumpets. The second headstone, likely belonging to Matthew, the wife of Samuel Bo-, who died in 1772, has a shaped top and is also made of slate. Both headstones are inscribed with upper and lower case lettering that includes serifs and verse.
