| dbo:abstract | Der Greyfriars-Friedhof ist ein Friedhof in der schottischen Stadt Perth in der Council Area Perth and Kinross. 1965 wurde das Bauwerk in die schottischen Denkmallisten zunächst in der Kategorie B aufgenommen. Die Hochstufung in die höchste Denkmalkategorie A erfolgte 2009. (de) Greyfriars Burial Ground is an historic cemetery in Perth, Scotland, dating to 1580. It is a Category A listed structure. It occupies the former location of the Greyfriars Monastery, founded by Laurence Oliphant, 1st Lord Oliphant, in 1496 and destroyed in 1559 at the start of the Scottish Reformation. Its collection of gravestones is considered one of the best in Scotland. As per documentation dating to 1911, "no burial is permitted of the body of a person who at the time of death resided out of the old parish, excepting that of a widower or widow, son or daughter who have never been married." A superintendent was in attendance every morning between 10 and 11 AM, then between 11 AM and 1 PM at Wellshill Cemetery. The cemetery closed to burials in 1978. The cemetery is located at the eastern end of Canal Street, near its junction with Tay Street. It has been extended south on two occasions, and it now abuts the bridge carrying the Perth to Dundee section of the Scottish railway network. A tablet commemorating John Mylne, who "rebuilt the ancient bridge over the River Tay," was erected by Robert Mylne in 1784. In 1997, when proposals were made to dismantle and rebuild the cemetery's eastern wall, two test pits were dug by the Scottish Urban Archaeological Trust (SUAT). One of the pits found what is believed to be the original monastery wall foundations. A "succession of wall foundations" hinted at several wall replacement and repair efforts undertaken during the monastery's lifespan, each raising the ground level. Medieval pottery was also discovered, likely associated with the soil of lower garden abutting the original monastery wall. The other pit demonstrated a lack of a progression of wall foundations, confirming that that area was inside the 1795 graveyard extension and outside the original monastery grounds. The second pit also showed signs of infilling or levelling layers, possibly from when a burn, which ran along the burial ground's southern wall, was covered with soil. In 2019, several headstones deemed a hazard to passersby were removed and restored. (en) |
