Pincher, the most faithful of dogs died...

I was at Chirk Castle today and came across this pet/dog area. I think it is probably all graves of dogs of the Master of the house. The area was well tended surrounded by very tall old yew trees. All the graves bar this one were unreadable.

The inscription on this one says...

Pincher
the most faithful
of dogs died,
much lamented
May 1826


I am guessing this Master of the house valued his dog more than the servants, or even his family...

Not a very exciting blip but it has reminded me of some interesting pet graves I saw somewhere...but where...
