- There are several old Graveyards in our district. They are all used up to the present day except two of them. One of them is a Protestant burial ground and all the others are Catholic. The old Protestant Graveyard in New Inn is not used now. It contains about a quarter of an acre of land. There was an old Protestant church near it in which the people of New Inn used to meet for service. There are about thirty people buried in it, including two Protestant ministers. There was a beautiful pathway running from the Graveyard to the Glebe House. The ministers are buried in beautiful vaults with iorn railings running around them and their coffins are preserved. The rector of New Inn Rev Mr Herbert is buried there with the rector of Knockgraffon. The tombstones are made of stone and are beautifully carved with the emblem the jug and the towel. All the coffins are preserved to the present day and they are buried there hundreds of years. It was all the protestant gentry were buried there.(continues on next page)
