Ballyellen Graveyard – Preserving Local Heritage
Ballyellen Graveyard is an historical and culturally significant site located within our community. This graveyard holds generations of local history and is a place of quiet reflection and respect. Our group is dedicated to its ongoing care and preservation, ensuring that it remains a well-maintained and dignified resting place for those who came before us.
Among the graves are several of particular historical interest. One notable grave belongs to a local man who served in World War I, reflecting the broader history of the area and its connection to national and global events. Another belongs to a family known for their contributions to farming and community development in the early 20th century, a reminder of the area's strong agricultural heritage.
