Bangor Abbey
has a historic and fascinating
graveyard.
It is a social, economic and political history of this part of Ireland
over at least 300 years. There are memorials to custom men and
pirates, ambassadors and factory owners, clergy and crooks! The
inscriptions testifying the deaths of whole families in the nineteenth
century are moving indeed.
A team of volunteers led by Harry Ellison have recently completed work
on laying a path and clearing vegetation making it more accessible for
visitors and improving the look of the grounds.
Here are some pictures from Jean
Coulter of our
intrepid band of volunteers hard at work. |
