Templepatrick Churchyard (Donaghadee, Co. Down)

[The following transcription is taken from The Journal of the Association for the Preservation of the Memorials of the Dead, Ireland beginning in Vol. VIII, No.6, 1912, page 518, and was submitted by a Mr. J. Adams. Although referred to as a 'churchyard' there is no longer any sign of the church.]

This cemetery is situated on the east side of the road running from Donaghadee to Millisle, and is close to the place where the Telegraph Cable enters the sea. It is mentioned in Harrison's "The Scot in Ulster" as containing a great preponderance of Scottish surnames. The material used for the majority of the tombstones is the local slate, and in consequence the lettering is, as a rule, well preserved. I did not observe armorial bearings on any of the tombstones. There are the walls of a small "watch-house," 9 ft. square, in the centre of the graveyard. There were nine tombstones of which the inscriptions were not visible owing to another larger tombstone being set up close in front of them.

Only the records of those persons who died before the end of the year 1800 are copied in full. All errors in spelling, &c, are copied as they appeared on the tombstones. There are only two records prior to the year 1700, namely Nos. 64 and 176. There are no verses of Scripture or encomiums of the dead on the older tombstones. Two Christian names of women observed were Armenia and Cumberland.
