Danygraig cemetery

St Thomas, United Kingdom · built 1856

Danygraig Cemetery is a large cemetery located in the Port Tennant area of Swansea. The cemetery opened in 1856 and covers approximately 20 acres. The first person to be buried in the cemetery was Father Charles Kavanagh, the local Roman Catholic priest responsible for the building of St David's Priory, the oldest Catholic church in Swansea. When the cemetery was being planned, Father Kavanagh proposed that it be interdenominational. There are 135 identified casualties of both World Wars buried here, as listed by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, including French and Norwegian nationals as well as British casualties.
