Chirk Castle and Gardens
Chirk Castle, Chirk, LL14 5AF, Wales, UK
The castle is open daily from April 1st to September 30th except on Monday and Tuesday.
Chirk Castle is a 700 year old marches fortress, which commands fine views over the surrounding countryside. It was built in the late 13th century by Roger Mortimer, Justice of North Wales for Edward 1. The castle was sold for 5,000 UK pounds to Sir Thomas Myddelton in 1595 and his descendants continue to live in part of the castle today
The small cemetary is only a few gravestones within a quiet part of the grounds and gardens.
I think the single headstone reads as follows:
"PINCHER - The most faithful of dogs died much lamented May 1620"
Engraving is very worn so could be wrong although this was the most legible of the headstones so they must be pretty old !
