About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

An Act of Parliament passed in 1704 transferred the ecclesiastical centre of the Church of Ireland parish from Kilmacomogue to Bantry because of a shift of population. A new Church of Ireland church was built at Garraí Mhurchaidh (Murphy's Garden) and opened in 1721. The earliest recorded burial is that of John Hoskin in 1781. The church was in use up to 1818 and was replaced by the present Church in the square. The graveyard continued to be in use for some years by families who had existing plots with the last burial being in 1985. Other burials took place in the Abbey Graveyard.
The church was built on land bordering the north side of what has since been known as Church Road. The rectangular graveyard surrounding the now ivy covered [and roofless] church is enclosed by a well-built stone wall. Two impressive stone pillars flank the entrance on Church Road, from which hang wrought iron gates three metres high.
