Description
The Alloway Kirk Graveyard is a near square-plan graveyard primarily featuring 19th century headstones, some of which have railed areas. A notable headstone is that of William Burnes, the father of poet Robert Burns, who was buried here in 1784. In the southwest corner, there is a mausoleum for Lieutenant General Hughes of Mount Charles, who was buried in 1832. This mausoleum includes architraved openings flanked by fluted columns, pilaster angles, a triglyph entablature, a mutulated cornice, and a blocking course.
The graveyard has stone gatepiers and a set of two-leaf iron gates at the central entrance. To the left, there is an iron railed stone stair, and the site is enclosed by a coped boundary wall.
