This graveyard is of considerable social interest, having been established for the internment of deceased nuns of the nearby convent. The graveyard forms and picturesque feature in the grounds shared with the Catholic church and convent, and is entered through an attractive gateway containing an early iron gate. The grave markers, which are good examples of early surviving iron work, are of some artistic value, as are the various items of statuary to the walls of the building to the north, and to the boundary wall.
