About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

The cemetery of the church of Saint Michael lies in the tiny hamlet of Llanfihangel-y-Pennant in the Meirionnydd area of Gwynedd, North Wales. The beautiful, remote location is in the valley of Afon Cadair on the south west side of Cadair Idris, just to the north east of the ruined castle of Castell y Bere, once a stronghold of the Welsh princes of Gwynedd. The church is known for its association with Mary Jones, 1784-1866, the local girl who in the year 1800, at the age of 15 walked barefoot from Llanfihangel-y-Pennant to Bala, (some 26 miles) to buy a copy of the Welsh Bible from the Rev. Thomas Charles, and whose story inspired the founding of the British and Foreign Bible Society. The church vestry displays details of her life and a memorial obelisk stands nearby, erected in the ruins of Mary's birthplace and family home, Tŷ'n y Ddôl (in English: The House in the Meadow), near the north end of Pont Ty'n-y-fach. Mary is buried at the graveyard of Bryncrug Calvinistic Methodist Chapel.
