  2. Old Graveyards

    Share Share Post
    There was only one Church in Inniskeen first and the Catholics and Protestants would be buried in the same graveyard until the new Church was built about one hundred years ago. There is not any Church-yard in the parish of Inniskeen round, except the round town in the Protestant Church. There is a ruin of the Catholic Church before this one which the Protestants has now. The Catholic Church is facing the Fane River. There are some Palm trees growing in front of the Catholic Church. Thee are a lot of momuments in the Protestant Church.
    Some unbaptised children would be buried in the old graveyard and some of them were buried at their home the way the people would not know about them. There are dates on some of the momunents but the most of them are blotted out.
