Place & story
The graveyard survey
Jimmy Lennon’s August 2005 survey of Taghshinod graveyard recorded church ruins and sixty-five inscribed memorials. The earliest inscription he identified commemorated Terence Ferrall, who died on 9 May 1726 aged forty-eight. This is the earliest inscription recorded in that survey, rather than a date for the first burial. The enclosed churchyard contained both flat and upright memorials, with tall yew trees and ivy growing on the ruins. [2]
