Graveyard in Dunmore

Graveyard

What is recorded here

The Saint's Church and churchyard vanished beneath Dunmore House and its adjoining tennis ground. No stone or trench remains visible, yet the grass may still cover ancient graves and forgotten prayers. People strike tennis balls above buried saints and dead men, unaware that sport and mourning share the same soil.
Not marked on the 1840 and 1907 editions of the OS 6-inch maps. Known as The Saint's Church. (Carrigan 1905, 224). No visible surface remains. Described by Carrigan as 'The Saint's church (LA029-035) and churchyard at Dunmore, are said to have been situated partly on the site now occupied by the south-western division of Dunmore House, and partly on the tennis ground adjoining' (Carrigan 1905, vol. 2, 224).
