What is recorded here
Saint Joseph's Catholic Cemetery in County Cavan holds the body of Paddy Reilly, the man named in the famous Percy French song. The original St. Joseph's Church rose beside this ground in 1839, anchoring the burial place to a living parish rather than a forgotten field. Reilly's name still travels through music and memory, while the cemetery keeps his bones quiet under Cavan soil.
The original St. Joseph's Church was built here in 1839. The body of Paddy Reilly of the famous Percy French song 'Come back Paddy Reilly' rests here
