With headstones dating back to 1720, St. Stephen’s Cemetery is unusual in that it was open to all faiths. Clonmel Tidy Towns with the support of The Heritage Council are recording each headstone and mapping them on our website.
Follow the trail to discover the hidden history of this fascinating site. With the help of independent historian Stephen Callaghan, we are uncovering stories and information about the people buried or remembered in the cemetery.
This collaboration with art students from CTI Senior College was a result of the Covid 19 restrictions. During the first lockdown, Clonmel Tidy Towns began a photographic campaign that examined our town’s rich heritage and architecture.
