Clonmore Church was erected in 1827 in the late English style of architecture, with an embatled tower, and was erected on a site given by Harry Alcock at Ballybuckley on part of the Wilton Castle estate. The first Vicar of Clonmore was Rev Charles Douglas Ogle. When it was decided to build a church there was contention between local Protestant magnates as to the site of the new church. A Mr Shepard of Clon
more wanted it on the old site near his residence and Mr Alcock wished to have it near his castle. The compromise was to build halfway between both places. It is built an English mile from the old site at Clonmore in the townland of Ballybuckley but was given the old parish name of Clonmore. It is the final resting place of well-known historical parish names such as Beatty, Alcock and Lett. Detached three-bay double-height single-cell Board of First Fruits Church of Ireland church, built 1825-7; consecrated 1828, on a rectangular plan with single-bay single-storey flat-roofed vestries centred on single-bay two-stage tower to entrance (west) front on a square plan. "Improved", 1832, producing present composition. "Restored", 2003. Pitched slate roof with lichen-covered clay ridge tiles, cut-granite "saddleback" coping to gables on cut-granite kneelers including cut-granite "saddleback" coping to gable to chancel (east) on cut-granite kneelers with cut-granite octagonal pinnacle to apex, and cast-iron rainwater goods on cut-granite eaves retaining cast-iron octagonal or ogee hoppers and downpipes. Slate hung walls; fine roughcast surface finish to tower on lichen-spotted cut-granite chamfered plinth with cut-granite "Cavetto" stringcourse (bell stage) supporting cut-granite octagonal pinnacles centred on battlemented parapets having cut-granite "saddleback" coping. Pointed-arch window openings with Y-mullions, and rendered cut-granite surrounds having chamfered reveals framing fixed-pane fittings having stained glass margins centred on square glazing bars. Pointed-arch window opening to chancel (east) with Y-mullions, and rendered cut-granite surround having chamfered reveals framing storm glazing over fixes-pane fittings having stained glass margins centred on square glazing bars. Tudor-headed door opening to tower with cut-granite step threshold, and cut-granite surround having chamfered reveals with hood moulding over framing timber boarded or tongue-and-groove timber panelled double doors having overpanels. Pointed-arch opening (bell stage), cut-granite surround having chamfered reveals with hood moulding over framing applied timber Y-mullions over louvered timber fitting. Interior including vestibule (west); square-headed door opening into nave with timber panelled double doors; full-height interior with quatrefoil-detailed memorial baptismal font (1877) on an octagonal plan on clustered colonette pedestal, tessellated glazed terracotta tiled central aisle between Gothic-style timber pews, cut-white marble Classical-style wall monuments trefoil-perforated Gothic-style timber pulpit on an octagonal plan with timber clerk's desk, encaustic tiled stepped dais to chancel (east) with wrought iron-detailed barley twist balusters supporting carved timber communion railing centred on Gothic-style altar below frosted glass "East Window", and vaulted ceiling on moulded plasterwork cornice. Set in landscaped grounds with benchmark-inscribed granite ashlar piers to perimeter having cut-granite shallow pyramidal capping supporting wrought iron double gates.
A church erected with financial support from the Board of First Fruits (fl. 1711-1833), and on a site donated (1825) by Harry Alcock (1792-1840) of Wilton Castle (Lewis 1837 I, 373), representing an integral component of the early nineteenth-century built heritage of County Wexford with the architectural value of the composition, one recalling the near-contemporary Ballycarney Church (1834), Ballycarney confirmed by such attributes as the standardised nave-with-entrance tower plan form, aligned along a liturgically-correct axis; the "pointed" profile of the openings underpinning a later English Georgian Gothic theme with the chancel defined by a restrained "East Window"; and the polygonal pinnacles embellishing the tower as a picturesque eye-catcher in the landscape. Having been well maintained, the elementary form and massing survive intact together with substantial quantities of the original fabric, both to the exterior and to the interior, including a slate hung surface finish widely regarded as an increasingly endangered hallmark of the architectural heritage of County Wexford: meanwhile, contemporary joinery; Classical wall monuments; encaustic tile work; and sleek plasterwork refinements, all highlight the artistic potential of a church forming part of a neat group alongside a nearby glebe house with the resulting ecclesiastical ensemble making a pleasing visual statement in a sylvan street scene.

Everytime you call him Irish Eyes. I just always remember my Great Grandfather from Ireland singing " when Irish eyes are calling, I'm in love with you...
Ahh I know that song well ❤❤
Beautiful walk & such history. Thank you Sue!
Thanks Betty, so much history for sure ❤
What a lovely surprise with this extra video your spoiling us this week. I am amazed to see Anita so recognised for all the good work she did, it was a very difficult time for Women in those days to even be heard. I loved the wooden log effect on that headstone, so realistic. I certainly have never seen slate walls before only slate roof tiles, it did look lovely that Church too. Thank you so much Sue and Irish eyes for braving the rain, so much history. Blessings to you 💕🇦🇺
Thank you Liz, I do love the churchbof Ireland graveyards ❤
@7:40 you are correct, that is a opening for the lid with usually some type of pry bar. It is also used to lay the lid on with out dropping it and potentially cracking the cement, so kind of serves as a very useful tool, if it where ever need to be entered. There is usually a trick to actually "unlocking" lids often the crafter will have something in place to make it somewhat locking and not so easy to be broken into by animals or just the curious. Not too mention the incredibly heavy weight for them. No clue of weight but would think minimum of 500LBS.
Thanks for sharing hope you guys have a great weekend.
Wow, thanks it would be extremely heavy for sure ❤
You have a beautiful and touching way of presenting these people now gone. You do it with love.
Thanks Omo, I appreciate it 🙏 😊

Thank you Kimberly 😊 💓
Thanks sue
Very welcome 🙏
I love the way you take the time to stop and read the stones! So many just brush by quickly, what’s the point. I don’t feel it is disrespectful. We honor the dead by remembering their presence on this earth!
It's so important to say their names to remember them ❤
Boa noite cat lindo cemitério abraço fica com Deus

Hi Sue! I admire people who don't let the rain stop them filming. That church reminds me of some I saw in Tasmania (aka Van Diemen's Land) which were built around the same time but I don't think I've ever seen slates on a wall before I believe lettering in relief is more common in the US than it is in Ireland or Australia. I'll have a closer look in my local cemetery next time I'm there. 🇦🇺 🇮🇪
Oh do..yes it's the first one I've seen, pretty cool graveyard 😎 ❤
Loved it Sue 🥰
Thanks Deirdre ❤️
Hermoso video histórico, le estaría muy agradecido si pudieran traducirlo al español para poder entender lo que se expone. Saludos desde Valparaíso, Chile.
I would love to but currently not able or I don't know how to, the CC button top right should allow you to translate ❤❤ thanks very much 🇮🇪
John Cooke Jones, the name on one of the headstones?! Not a relation, but it is an eyeopener. Sad to see such young ones who passed away also listed here. Wonderful work Sue, as always
I spotted that John..thank you ❤❤
❤️
❤❤❤
Beautiful cemetery and church.
Have you ever gone to County Cork? My Dad's parents and Aunt and Uncle, immigrated from there to America. At Ellis Island they changed our last name to Smith feeling that people wouldn't be able to pronounce or spell our last name which was Teneyck. Unfortunately all the history I had on them has been lost over the years.
I've been near to Cork City, youghal but haven't ventured near the city, I've been to Cobham too ❤❤
