Cemetery
The old disused graveyard of St. Audoen's has been converted into a recreation ground. Many notables were buried there, including many Bishops and Lord Mayors of the city and the families of Ball, Bath, Blakeney, Browne, Cusack, Desminier, Fagan, Foster, Fyan, Gifford, Gilbert, Malone, Mapas, Molesworth, Penteny, Perceval, Quinn, Talbot and Ussher. The Curate-assistant Christopher Teeling McCready (died 1913) collected detailed genealogies of these families in seven hand-written volumes, which are now in Marsh's Library.
