- In the parish of Mallow there are four graveyards one is attached to St James' Protestant Church. This has been closed for many years because it was overcrowded. Catholics as well as Protestants were buried here up to the time it was closed and it was believed that there was a Catholic Church here before the Penal times. In this graveyard there is a tomb where were buried several members of the Norrey's family who lived in Mallow Castle.
