Hi all,
In all my years going down to Youghal, I never knew this place existed until three days ago. This church/predecessors has stood since the 14th century and is open to the public. It's C of I/Anglican/Episcopalian and has a fascinating old graveyard as well as a large part of Youghal's city walls. Inside, it has many plaques to the dead of many wars, including one 19-year old 2nd Lieutenant who fell on the first day of the Somme (they even have his original grave marker). The grave yard is being stripped of years of undergrowth and new paths have ben laid, all by local volunteer labour. Well worth a visit.
regards
