The ground was given by Owen Humphrey of Llwyndu as a burial ground for the Quakers of the district, c 1664. The founder of the Quakers, George Fox, visited the area in 1657. Quakers having emigrated to the New World and having died out locally in 1876 Wesleyans were granted the right to bury their dead here, but the western portion is reserved for Quakers.
