Well done Neil.
Here is the story of the wedding present...

This was the home of Clough Williams Ellis. We had a look around the house and gardens. I will put some photos of them in the gardening section for anyone who is interested.

Ha! Not me, but action man.
Well done Steve, I'm sure you know the answer.
Are you going to explain where it is or shall I?

 $thanx$  It's quite well known, but I thought you might get a few more tries, hence my cryptic answer, this link is informative.
The Cathedral quarries are a small network of inter-linked quarries above Little Langdale. The system is best known for its main chamber, which still stands forty feet in height, and is lit by two windows off the main quarry. They are frequently referred to as Cathedral “Cave”.

It was a lovely building and I remember the very impressive staircase there, let's hope that someone can restore it back to it's former glory.

I suspect these are not humans, but pets - possibly horses by the date and the use of "old dame".  As to where, I've no idea!!!

You are right DVT, they are pets but not horses but where would this pet cemetery be?

Is it the pet cemetery at Penrhos Country Park near Holyhead?
