A number of the most ornate memorials in this burial ground are set along its south-western wall, where they are largely hidden by trees. In this view, the nearest one is "sacred to the memory of John Pritchard of the island of Dominica, merchant, who died on his passage from that island to Britain in 1797", and "to Jane Moody his spouse". To its left, with a squat obelisk beside it, is one for "William Marshall, died at Ladyburn, 27th January 1833, aged 66 years", "Fanny Fulton his spouse, died 30th December 1830, aged 61 years", and members of the same family. Further away, near the left-hand edge of the picture, is another elaborate memorial, this one for John Farquhar and his wife Marion McKelvie: Image
