Graveyard

What is recorded here

Grave Yard at Loughmansland Glebe preserves the buried heart of a lost parish, its square stone boundary still framing the vanished church and ancient burials. The name Glebe suggests clergy lived and worked here beside Lea Castle, yet time has erased most of the building and stripped the place of obvious memory. What remains is a quiet invitation to imagine the prayers, funerals and daily lives that once filled this small corner of County Laois.
Reference to church (LA023-025) and ancient burial ground here (Comerford, Rev M. 1883-86, 338). Remains of an undivided nave and chancel built of roughly coursed limestone. Remains of doorway in South wall. No other features visible. Irregularly shaped graveyard (int. dims. 63m N-S; 43m E-W) enclosed by a stone wall with church in centre.
