Description

The churchyard walls surrounding the graveyard of the Church of St Cynwyd are D-shaped and closely bordered by the road. The walls are made of Pennant sandstone and stand up to 2.3 meters high, likely dating back to early origins but mostly from the 18th and 19th centuries. There is a gate on the south side and another gate on the west side that leads to a larger graveyard extension. The gate piers on the south side are constructed of ashlar, featuring stepped cappings and an iron overthrow with a central lantern. The west pier includes an inserted granite panel, which serves as a memorial for the 1914-1918 war, inscribed in Welsh. Similarly, the east pier has a granite panel in English commemorating the 1939-1945 war. The east piers are substantial, made of rock-faced rubble with domed tops, and also feature iron gates.
