No. 0
St Columb's Cathedral

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 :

night, aged 44 years.
