BALLYOUGHTERA CHURCHYARD – James Coleman in ‘Journal of the Association for the Preservation of the Memorials of the Dead in Ireland Vol. VII, 1907-08.’ Transcribed by Anita Sheahan Coraluzzi - This churchyard is situated in a very secluded part of the Castlemartyr demesne, and, like all graveyards I have seen in private grounds, such as is this one, is in the most deplorably derelict condition, many of the graves being furthermore so much burrowed by rabbits or other animals, as to make it dangerous to walk through it. The walls of the old church still stand, its length being about ninety feet, and divided by an archway into the chancel and nave, with a very small and narrow lancet-window in the west end of the nave. The day being dreadfully wet and gloomy, I was unable to search for the old Geraldine tomb said to be here, though it was probably that located in the south-east end of the church. It was rather pitiful to see the plain table-tomb of the last proud Earl of Shannon almost sunk to a level with the ground, and the inscription already somewhat difficult to decipher. It runs as follows: ’Beneath/ are laid the remains of Richard/ Earl of Shannon/ who died on the 1st of August 1868/ A sorrowful widow placed this/ stone in memory of the most affectionate and best of husbands.’ The son and successor of this Earl of Shannon who died in Wales on the 11th of December 1906, aged forty-six, sold his ancestral property the November previous to Lady Arnott, nee Fitzgerald, and thus, after the lapse of 300 years, this fine property is again owned by a Geraldine.
On another table-tomb is a very long inscription, beginning thus:- Here lies the body of Matthew D(B?)unbury/ who dep this life the 11th day of August/ 1786 He was perfected (etc.)
On another table-tomb within the old church, the first part of the inscription is as follows:- Here/ lies the body of James Barry/ with his son James, the son died in September 1764 in the age 28th year/ and the father died in the 64th year of his age
The following are inscriptions on headstones within the old church:-
In memory of Elizabeth Carpineal/ born August 10th 1788, Died March 4th 1811
In memory of/ Frances Guisset who died 27th July 1808/ Aged 55 years
Here lies inter the body/ of John Healy who died Jan 21 1708 aged 60 years
Outside the old church are about forty, mostly over-grown headstones, from which are taken the following inscriptions:-
Erected by James Saul/ as a Preservation of the memory of his Father Barnaby Saul/ who died Nov 19th 1827 in the 80th year of his age/ May Our Lord Jesus Christ Son of the Living God/ have mercy on his soul/ and the souls of the faithful departed Amen
Beside this is another stone:- Erected/ by Mrs Mary Saul in memory of her/ beloved husband the late Mr. James/ Saul of Deerpark who died March/ 5th 1869 aged 90 years
Erected to the memory of Michael Brien of/ Lahard for the Resurrection unto life/ Eternal who dep this Life the 10th of/ August 1888 Aged 50 years/ Jesus Son of the Living God have mercy on his Soul
This stone was/ erected by Rich/ ard Sullivan to the memory of his sons John Sul/ livan and Timothy/ John dep this life the 14th day of May 1780 aged ____ years and Timothy the 28th day of Feb 1786 aged_____ (rest covered up)
Erected by Denis/ Murphy in memory of his and his family Burying place, Intered here the 1st/ Day of Dec 1798 aged 98 years
Erected by Johanna Boing/ in memory of her husband/ Anthony Boing who died July 3, 1808 aged 72
Think of Death and Fear the Lord/ Erected to the memory of John/ Crowley who Departed this Life July 31st 1789 Aged/ 44 years
This/ Stone was erected by Catherine/ Hannanny? in memory of her Good Mother Elizab/ eth Hannan/ ny? who died 8 the 16th 1783. Aged 64 years/ Her Father Daniel Hannan died March 9th 1791 aged 70 years. This last inscription appears as if it had been recut, or placed over an older inscription
On a small slab inserted near the chancel arch of the old church, at the nave side, is inscribed:- This is the burial place of/ John Mountaine/ and Family, 1889

BALLYOUGHTERA - Lewis’ Topographical Dictionary 1837 - BALLYOUGHTERA,a parish, in the barony of IMOKILLY, county of CORK, and province of MUNSTER; containing, with part of the market and post-town of Castlemartyr, 1509 inhabitants. This parish comprises, with Cahirultan, 4215 statute acres, as apploted under the tithe act, and valued at £3142 per annum: the state of agriculture is on some farms improved, but on others it is very backward. A considerable portion is comprised within the park of Castlemartyr, and is either laid out in woods and ornamental grounds or devoted to pasture. The eastern part, including a portion of the town of Castlemartyr, is richly adorned with wood and in a good state of cultivation; and contains several elegant seats, of which the principal are Castlemartyr, that of the Earl of Shannon, which is described under the head of that town: Dromadda, of G. W. Courtenay, Esq.; Kilbree, of S. W. Adams, Esq.; and Ballyhickady, of Capt. Leach. The living is a rectory and vicarage, in the diocese of Cloyne, consolodated with the rectory of Cahirultan and united by act of the 9th of Anne, cap. 12, to the vicarage of Imogeely or Mogeely, which together constitute the union of Castlemartyr and corps of the prebend of Cahirultan, in the patronage of the Bishop: the tithes, embracing the entire union, amount to £435.12.7, and the entire value of the prebend is returned at £523.15. The church, situated in the town of Castlemartyr, is a neat building in a spacious spot of ground surrounded by lofty elms. The glebe-house, in Imogeely, was erected by aid of a gift of £100 and a loan of £1350, in 1815, from the late Board of First Fruits: the glebe comprises 22 acres lying partly in Castlemartyr, partly in Cahirultan, but chiefly in Imogeely. In the RC divisions the parish forms part of the union or district of Imogeely or Castlemartyr [but most of the parish is contained within the RC Parish of Midleton], at the former of which is the chapel; and there is another chapel on the border of the parish near Ballintowlas [Ballintotis], adjoining which is the national school. In the demesne of Castlemartyr, and near its south-eastern boundary, are the ruins of the old parish church, which was built in 1549. and destroyed in the war of 1641. The ruins of the ancient castle of Imokilly, from which the barony derives its name, afterwards called Ballymartyr castle, and now Castlemartyr, are in this parish, as are also the ruins of the castle of Ballintowlas [Ballintotis]; and near the latter there is an extensive lake [Loughaderry].
