“There are four churchyards in our parish. ...”
(continued from previous page)There are five tombs and a Protestant minister is buried in one of them. His name was Minister Jones. One or two others were buried there also.
There was also a Protestant minister living near an old church that was there. The ruins of it are not to be seen but there is a height in the ground where it was. There was a gravel path up to the front of it. It was knocked a long time ago.
There is a local leader of the '67' movement by the name of Martin Riordan buried there and another man by the name of Shawn Buckley who lived in Ballydesmond south who was shot by the Black and Tans in '1920'.
