MONANIMY CHURCHYARD MEMORIALS
[From James Buckley]
'Not a vestige of the ancient church survives--a
circumstance, perhaps, unprecedented in this country. Some
ruins existed a century and a half since, according to
Smith's A. and P. State of County and City of Cork. A modern
Protestant church, in the erection of which the old church
was probably utilised, stood here, but was taken down about
fifteen years ago. The late Rev. RICHARD AHERN, the Parish
Priest, acquired the pews, and had them installed in
Annakissy Church, where they are now in use. 'After a close
inspection of most of the headstones in this cemetery, the
one bearing the oldest and most interesting inscription I
could find, was erected to a father of the flock. The
inscription appears in no fewer than three different
languages-- English, Latin, and Irish--and is probably
unique':-
