  1. An Old Graveyard

    Share Share Post
    There is an old graveyard in Dunbin. The ruins of it are still there. The great wind which occured about a hundred years ago is believed to have knocked the headstones.
    The ruins of a church are also there. We can still see a few stone steps which lead up to the door. The church was small. It would hold about forty people. An old man who has his house and garden on a price of the land told me that there was a stone alter in it. The windows of the church were surrounded by iron bars. There were only four windows on it.
    We can still see several marks which are believed to be the marks of graves.
