Three railed C19 tomb enclosures, with commemoration dates of 1857, 1864 and 1877 respectively.
The largest, and western-most, is approximately 3.5m square and contains 2 fine polished slate tomb-slabs to the family of Charles Easton Spooner, engineer and secretary of the Ffestiniog Railway. These are set onto a slate-flagged pavement, raised up on 6 slate balls; bolection-moulded sides with simple acanthus decoration to centres and corners. The left tomb (southern-most) has a memorial inscription to James Alfred Easton, d.1857, with subsequent additions; that to the R is inscribed to the memory of John Eryri Easton, d.1877. Simple cast iron railings on a limestone plinth, the railings with foliated heads.
The southern-most enclosure has a small slate tomb-slab with moulded sides and railings as before; to the memory of Elizabeth Preece, 'Faithful servant of Charles Easton Spooner Esq.', d.1864.
The eastern-most enclosure has a polished slate tomb-slab with moulded sides and incised lettering; to Alice Jackson, d.1864. Cast iron railings with stylised spear-headed finials.
Included for group value with St Mary's Church and as distinctive examples of their type.
