Grave cross

On a recent exploration of the Russel Road Cemetery here in Port Elizabeth I found this very interesting grave stone cross.  It kinda reminded me of a Celtic cross and probably got its inspiration from the Welsh connection amongst the 1820 British Settlers as the grave dates from the mid 1800’s.

  1. Interesting gravestone. The cemeteries in France have an odd fascination to me as they have huge buildings where all the family end up for years afterwards. I will do a post on them one day. Diane

    'tis quite a unique grave marker. Based on the size and age it would seem to mark the burial place of someone important (and most likely wealthy, too).

    I believe that is a Celtic cross. I wonder who is buried there?I used to be fascinated with cemeteries when I was a little girl. I loved to read the inscriptions.
