Churchyard, Church of St Erfyl , Llanerfyl, Powys, Wales, UK - Churchyard Cemeteries on Waymarking.com

"The original churchyard is sub-oval in shape but it was extended eastwards in the 1930s. It is set on the edge of the scarp above the valley of the Banwy. It is reasonably well maintained on the south side but overgrown and hummocky on the north side.

Boundary: a stone revetment wall on all sides but the east, between about 1m and 2m high. The 1930s extension is edged with fir trees.

Monuments: mainly 19thC and 20thC slate slabs closely packed on all sides; many inscriptions in Welsh; few 18thC memorials. The earliest slab seen was from 1780, to the south-east of the chancel. Two small sandstone slabs with cusped heads lean against a sandstone slab on the north side of the church, and are inscribed 'S.M' and 'P.M' - they may be early grave markers. The early medieval inscribed stone was originally set under the large south yew and a stone marks the location. Scattered modern burials in the eastern extension."
