many notable people are buried here including the great mystic, morgan llwyd, who died in 1659. when the ground was closed in 1888, it contained 27 family vaults, a number of brick graves and 920 private family earthen graves. unfortunately, during the night of the wrexham races, in the mid-1840s, all but one of the brass memorial plates were stolen from the tombs, thus destroying many family histories.
