  1. Churchyards

    Share Share Post
    In the neighbourhood there are two old churchyards. They have been closed down except for a few families now.
    They are
    1. Newtown - between here and Kilbeggan
    2. Clonfad - between here and Mullingar
    3. Tore - at John Morgan's gate
    In these three graveyards Catholics and Protestants alike were buried. There was a new graveyard opened here in the year 1932. Only Catholics are buried there. It was a field given by Miss Ryan on the Tore road.
    Up to then all the people had to go to Meedin to be buried. That graveyard was not in this parish.
