Place & story
The older churchyard
Samuel Lewis’s 1837 account of Annagh distinguished the parish church in Blennerville from an older ruined church and burial ground about half a mile away. In that burial ground he noted a stone carved with an armed horseman. He did not identify the rider, date the carving or associate it with a named family. The description preserves evidence of a particular carved monument without supplying an identity that the account cannot support. [2]
