Bannow Graveyard, Co. Wexford, Ireland

Bannow is in the Barony of Bargy, Civil Parish of Banow and Poor Law Union of Wexford

from 'Memorials of the Dead, Co. Wexford' : Author Mr. Brian Cantwell "In 1974 Dr. R.J.and Mrs M.V J. Hetherington visited this graveyard and recorded 141 legible inscriptions, an additional 21 are noted as uninscribed crosses, 'stumps' or illegible stones. A further 'twenty or so' were unexamined as they had not sufficient time to complete the survey; these memorials are in the south-eastern corner of the graveyard.

Dr. & Mrs Hetherington mention at the end of their 'chancel section' the “uninscribed coffin lid .with two effigies under a foliated cross”. I have traced two other references to this slab: a) in the J. Kilkenny Archaeological Society (now Royal Society of
Antiquaries of Ireland), vol. I, pp. 187/194 (1850) and, b) in the J. Memorials to the Dead Association, vol. II, pp. 388/89 (1893). For comparison, I give below readings from both-publications:

a) 'Hic.jacet.Johanes.Golfer.qui.obiit * * * *
* * * Anna.Siggin.que obiit * * * *
quoru.animab.' ppicietur.deus.amen.'

b) 'Hic jacet ioannes Golfer qui obiit
anno dei …….orate……….
ance lusgin obiit’
quor ansbs proprietur (Deus)
amen.'

Bannow forms a promontory on the south coast of the county of Wexford, and the old church lies in open ground at the extreme end of the promontory. To its north ie the former islands, the small Clare Island and the larger Bannow Island, now all joined
to the mainland. The churchyard is on the highest point of the headland and appears to be an exact square, with a good wall of stone having one gate (and stile) on the south side. Near this is an inscription (in Irish and English, of recent date) recording the first landing of the Anglo-Normans in Ireland at this spot, in 1169, and the creation of the borough of Bannow, on land to the north. The borough (as the inscription relates) is long vanished, but the Parish (including Bannow Island) is dotted with small farms and cottages. The Norman influence has frequently been noted in this area, and lands some special interest to the names on the gravestones. Stafford and Devereux are obvious examples." End of Memorials of the Dead exerpt
