Description
A series of adjacent headstones, dating from the 17th to the 19th centuries, lines both sides of a path located approximately 3 to 9 metres south of the church porch. The oldest headstones are made of granite, while the others are crafted from limestone. These old headstones have been reset to create continuous rows along the path leading from the church porch to the south gateway of the churchyard. All the headstones are relatively small, with few standing taller than about 400 millimetres. They feature various shaped heads, and the fronts are inscribed, primarily using Roman serif upper and lower case lettering.
