On Thursday 12 August 2010 Edenderry Historical Society will launch Carved in Stone, documenting more than twenty local graveyard readings from the vicinity. Compilied over the past few years by a dedicated small band of workers, this is a truely phenomenal recording of over 500 hundred years of local history. With the earliest grave recorded being 1562 and the latest 2009. The book is bound to be a major source for historians, genealogists and those researching their own family history. With over 20 graveyards there are a few thousand people mentioned in the text. It is in effect a census of the locality across several centuries
Among the graveyards nad burial grounds mentioned in the text are: Ballinakill, Ballyboggan, Ballyburly, Ballymacwilliam, Carbury Church & Churchyard , Carbury Hill, Carrick, Castlejordan (Old), Castropetre Church & Churchyard, Cushlann Gearr, Drumcooley, Killane, Kilpatrick, Kilrainy (Old), Monasteroris, Nurney, Shean, Society of Friends’ Burial Grounds, St. Mary’s Church & Churchyard, St. Mary’s Cemetery, St. Vincent’s (Workhouse Cemetery) and Templedoath (Carbury Hill).
