Grave Yd.

Graveyard

What is recorded here

Grave Yd. is an irregular Longford graveyard holding memorials from 1705 to the 20th century beside an 18th-century church. Its stone wall and iron gates frame a small, occupied landscape rather than a forgotten one. The Edgeworth family still has three conjoined memorials built into the church wall, tying private grief to a place others could visit.
Possibly associated with a church (LF015-063002-). The irregularly shaped graveyard (int. dims. 70m N-S; 60m E-W) is enclosed by a stone wall of 19th-century appearance. Primary and secondary entrances are via wrought-iron gates at W and WSW respectively. A short distance to the S of the centre is an 18th-century church (C of I). Three conjoined memorials to the Edgeworth’s family, of 18th and 19th century date, are built into its N wall. Memorials in the graveyard itself date from the 18th to the 20th centuries. The earliest recorded memorial was dated 1705. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan, Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 4 June 2013
