Drogheda
has
lots
of
churches
and
to
make
life
complicated
for
visitors
there
are
two
churches
in
the
town
named
’St.
Peter’s’.
Of
the
two
St.
Peter’s
Church
of
Ireland
is
the
one
that
you
need
to
visit
if
you
are
interested
in
old
graveyards.
Built
on
the
site
of
an
earlier
church,
St
Peters
is
an
excellent
example
of
a
Georgian
church
and
there
are
not
too
many
of
those
in
Ireland.
It
may
sound
as
a
advertisement
for
beer
at
least
one
tourist
guidebook
described
it
as
“probably
the
finest
provincial
Georgian
church
in
Ireland”.
Unfortunately
as
I
visited
late
in
the
day
I
did
not
gain
entry
to
the
church
but
I
spent
about
an
hour
viewing
the
graveyard
which
is
very
different
to
most
that
I
have
photographed
to
date.
The
most
unusual
thing
that
I
came
across
was
a
“cadaver
stone”
taken
from
the
tomb
of
Sir
Edmond
Goldyng
and
his
wife
Elizabeth
Fleming.
It
is
built
into
the
churchyard
wall,
east
of
the
present
building
and
shows
two
cadavers
enclosed
in
shrouds
which
have
been
partially
opened
to
show
the
remains
of
the
occupants
of
the
tomb.
