  1. The Old Graveyards

    Share Share Post
    The Churchyard of this District is closed up lately. It is a round shape and faced to the south.
    There are the ruins of an old church in the centre of the graveyard, there is one grave inside the ruins. There are some of the tombstones so old that the writing is worn off. There is a strangers plot in it.
    In the graveyard of Rahugh the tramps that have no plot are buried in it. The last stranger that was buried was a man named Gaynor. He worked at Brians.
