  1. The Old Graveyards

    Share Share Post
    There are four churchyards in the Parish of Ballintemple namely Bruskey, Potahee, and two in Ballintemple. They are all still in use, and the graveyards are square in shape.
    In one of the graveyards of Ballintemple there are trees growing. The old graveyard of Ballintemple is seldom used now.
    In the new graveyard there are many tombs-stones and flowers. There are three vaults in the new graveyard. They are built like a little house, with a flat roof, and turrets around the edge of the vaults. Doherty a landlord who owned the estate of Derrylane is buried in the first vault, this vault dates back to 1888.
    Robert Smyth who was drowned at Punjab, India is buried in the second vault.
    The name of the person buried in the third vault is unknown.
