Old Meeting House Graveyard, Meeting House Lane, Church Street, Newry

The graveyard is split by a level change into two sections, and is accessed down a narrow lane from Church Street. It is enclosed by rubble stone walls. Most graves are mid to late 19th century and of little interest. Most impressive is a large sandstone memorial erected by Mr Henderson, owner of the Newry Telegraph. It consists of four large segmental headed white marble tablets inset within an ashlar sandstone wall, which has an incised frieze (now mostly unreadable), and a moulded cornice. It is surmounted by the Newry coat of Arms flanked by scrolled decorative corbels. The meeting house is located to the south end of the site. Nothing remains but a rectangular outline of rubble stonework about 30cm high.
