This is part of the Penang Heritage Trail places of interest. A very, very old graveyard where some of the most prominent people were buried including the founder of Penang, Sir Francis Light.
The thought of going into a graveyard for a tour does seem a little out of the ordinary for me. This place is very shady with overgrown frangipani trees. No one goes in there. However, it is located along a busy road.
These graves are all very, very old. Some of their tombstones are broken. I am not sure whose tomb this but it is one of the biggest and most prominent. At first, I thought that this must be Sir Francis Light’s grave. However, it is not.
This tomb is rather special. May Gilbert Gardiner rest in peace.
I will blog about the grave of Sir Francis Light in another post.
P/S : I have said a little prayer at the graveyard. May their souls rest in peace and God bless them. They will be remembered for their contributions towards Penang island.

God bless them and hope they RIP. I think I read about another grave they made with a dog’s statue which was pretty unique too - maybe it is at this place.
