"Sheepswool, straw and droppings cover

Graves of spinster, rake and lover,

Whose fantastic mausoleum

Sings its own seablown Te Deum,

In and out the slipping slates."

From John Betjeman's Ireland With Emily

Hundreds of these Church of Ireland 'Firstfruits' churches dot the Irish landscape. With the decline of the Irish Protestant popuation many are now just sanctuaries of forgotten stories.
