Walls Enclosing Friends Burial Ground

The walls enclosing the Friends Burial Ground are a significant feature dating from around 1690, with partial rebuilding occurring in 1883, as indicated by a date stone. These stone rubble walls, topped with slate coping, form a square enclosure for the burial ground. The entrance is located near the center of the front (northeast) side. The high walls are complemented by square corner piers and a pair of square entrance piers that have moulded caps. A slate commemorative plaque is positioned on the front left of the enclosure. The burial ground itself is planted with mature deciduous trees and is partly overgrown. Historical records by Maclean indicate that there was a notable Quaker presence in St. Minver at the end of the 17th century, leading to the establishment of a meeting house and small burial ground on this site around 1690. By 1879, the meeting house had disappeared, and in 1883, the walls surrounding the now disused burial ground were partially rebuilt.
