What is recorded here
Graveyard in St. Margaret's is a stone-walled graveyard north of St. Margaret's village where the remains of a medieval parish church still lie at the west end. The ground slopes steeply down from south to north, and an 18th century Morgan family mausoleum stands at the southern boundary. People may have walked that falling path for generations, carrying bread, grief or wedding rings into a place where old church walls and newer family pride still share the same dark earth.
