- 2155. 5.'38.The oldest graveyard I know of is Ballymore graveyard; it is at the back of Ballymore Church in the parish of Kilbride.
There are a lot of people buried in it.
In some places in it where old graves have sunk down, other people have been buried on top of them.
There are marble head-stones and flag head-stones in it. There are two tomb stones in the graveyard, and there are three crosses in it also, there is one iron cross and two cement crosses.
There are Protestants and Roman Catolics buried in it.
There is a stile going into the graveyard aswell as a gate. The Roman Catolics used to go in over the stile; some of them go over it still, but other go through the gate.
The fartherest distance people have come to be buried in Ballymore graveyard is from Enniscorthy.
While Ballymore church was being built the ruins of an other old church was found and an old oak beam was found which is still kept in Ballymore house.Saidee Greene. (13)
