West headstone inscription to : JOHN, SON OF CATHERINE RICHARDS, who was wounded in the Mine by the fall of a piece of Wood, which entered his bowels; who after

East headstone inscription to : JOSEPH GUNDERY, died 1827 aged 57, and the epitaph:
Beneath this stone lies silent in the dust
A husband dear that in the Lord did trust,
Till the last trump shall sound and bid him rise,
To meet his Blessed Jesus in the skies
