Description
Cemetery laid out, c. 1890. Uncoursed rubble stone boundary wall, concrete coping added c. 1950. Coursed ashlar stone gate piers with cylindrical domed carriage wheel deflectors. Decorative wrought-iron double gates. Stone style to east of gates with stone steeps let into wall thickness.

Rubble stone, ivy-covered boundary walls to east, north and west. Fronts to main road.
Appraisal
This cemetery occupies the site of a monastery founded in 1432 but contains no visible traces of it. The roadside wall and gateway, with graveyard behind, provide a pleasing boundary.
