No it was demolished some years ago. The graveyard is looked after by St David`s church. Was there something specific that you were after.

Yes; an ancestor of my wife, namely William Davies, was a well-known sculptor from Caerphilly and I am attempting to make a record of his work.  See attached snippet dated Jan 24 1893

Hi Michelle

Thank you so much for the image of the church.  I'll see if St David's can help.

Kind Regards
