St Columb's was the first Protestant Cathedral to be built in Ireland or Britain flowing the Reformation.

As you enter through the gates there seem to be very few headstones, it's only when you get closer do you find that the majority of graves are marked by flatstones, mostly from the mid to late 19th century.

On the stone below the inscription reads :

Sacred to the memory of Elizabeth McCandless who departed this life
on the 14th day of November 1819, aged 67 years.
Also her son William, who being overcome by deep grief
departed this life on the same night, aged 44 years.

The large tomb, above, belongs to the Maughan family.

Above is the headstone of Anne Reid who died in 1855, aged 37, and of her daughter, Mary, who died in 1847 aged 1.
