- There are two grave yards in our parish one in Galmoy around the church and the other in Eirke. Both are very old graveyards. The one in Glamoy seems to be her oldest. Some of the graves are new and some very big trees which were growing around the graveyard were cut down lately so that the place looks very pretty now.
Eirke graveyard is situated on a high hill and it is not kept in repair. Many of the tomb stones are knocked down and nobody is taking care of them. The graveyard is enclosed by a very high wall all around and there is a big iron gate leading in. Old people remember burials which have taken place in graveyards which are not used at all(continues on next page)- Collector
