Belcarra Graveyards

Belcarra village is home to four graveyards: Elmhall Old and New, Guesdian, and Glebe.

Elmhall Cemetary

This cemetery was what was known as “a mixed graveyard”, with both Catholics and Protestants being buried here. This caused controversy in the 19th century with the church authorities. There are stories told of Protestant burials taking place at nightime to avoid trouble.

Guesdian

Also known as Gweeshadan Cemetery is is situated about 1.5 miles southeast of the village of Belcarra.
