History

About this graveyard

The civil parish of Ballinaclough, some 3,700 acres in Upper Ormond, was once a Norman manor associated with the De Marisco and Travers families; in Norman documents it is usually called 'Weyperous' or 'Vadum Petrous' ('Stoneyford'). Within the graveyard are the ruins of a 15th-century church, divided into nave and choir with a fine limestone chancel arch, and a mid-19th-century Church of Ireland church (closed about 1980, its stained-glass window removed for use elsewhere). The graveyard falls into an older, unkempt section to the right of the gate and a more modern section to the left; within the ruins of the earlier church are many Kennedy memorials, and on the floor a monument to Samuel Bindon — previously recorded as 1611 but read by the compiler as 1677, the oldest in the graveyard. 96 inscribed headstones were copied, along with 13 memorial tablets within the Church of Ireland church (mainly the Bayly family) and two memorials inside the modern Catholic church up the road. Recorded by Denise Foulkes for the Ormond Historical Society's survey of the Barony of Upper Ormond (Section B, Volume 3), published 1982.
