  1. Old Graveyards
    The "Moye" churchyard
    There is one churchyard in the district where I live. It is called the moy.
    It is in use still and there is a lot of trees growing in it. It is sloped towards the East. The crosses are made of granite and Iron. There is no ruins of a church in it. There is some old crosses in it but you cannot see the dates on them. There is a small wall surrounding it. It is fairly well kept. There is a spare place there which is called stranger's corner, that means if any stranger dies he can be buried there.
