Stokes Thomas. He was born in Enniscorthy and educated at the local Christian Brothers school. He was a member of the Men’s Confraternity Choir of the Holy Family attached to Cathedral and a member of the Enniscorthy Musical Society and of the Gaelic League. After the Rising he was detained in Richmond Barracks and then deported serving time in Stafford Jail. While he was in Stafford his mother became very ill and although he was given temporary release by the time he got home she was dead and buried. He was returned to Richmond Barracks then to Knutsford and then transferred to Frongoch where his health began to fail. He was released from Frongoch in December 1916. He returned to Ireland and resumed work but in July 1917 his health began to fail again and he died on the 29th of September 1917 aged 24 years old. He was laid to rest in the cemetery attached to the Cathedral with full military honours provided by the Volunteers.

Wow! What a beautiful Cathedral this is. The stained glass windows were stunning. There were so many headstones in that Graveyard that had lots of writing on but sadly no one could read them. Quite a few had the top half of the monument removed for some reason, very strange. I do remember seeing quite a few of those very small ornate crosses in London when I was growing up, they had J C only on them (Jesus Christ) I was told it's because it costs so much money for each word to be inscribed on a toombstone, most families could never be able to afford it.. so opting for a small ornate cross instead was the only option. This way they kept the memory of their loved one alive, and sadly to avoided gossip. I just loved the 'Dry stone Wall's, a work of art in themselves plus no cement or clay at all just jam pack stones and all hand done. Amazing! Thank you Irish eyes, I really enjoyed this. Blessings to you 💕🇦🇺

Hi IE! Thanks for the explore! The coat of arms on that grave is that of a prelate. The Latin term for bishop is "episcopus". The churchyard itself indeed looks very Victorian. In the 19th century epidemics of infectious diseases such as typhoid and cholera often wiped out entire families. The interior of St Aidan's is beautiful. The altar and reredos are masterpieces of religious art.

@@GraveVisitations You're welcome, IE! I find spiritual comfort in churches that look like churches. I don't care if they are Catholic, Anglican, Orthodox, Lutheran, or Non-Conformist. A church that looks like a church feels like a church.

Hello! That angel statue holding a big sea shell: normally it's found at the entrance of most Catholic churches. They put holy water on it for the worshippers to dip their fingers before making the sign of the cross, sit and participate in the mass. I saw the biggest one in Rome at the St Peter's Basilica.

I had another look, and believe that I saw the word Presbyter. That grave could be one of a very highly regarded elder, one who is under complete protection of a bishop. Hence, the bishops marks on the two foresteps.

I tried to see markings in the cathedral, which would indicate diocese. The marks on the first grave, are those of a bishop or abbot. And the particular graves that were defaced of religious symbols, one of the old rules of the church, children born out of wedlock and there mothers, were allowed to be buried, but no religious symbols. They were immediately to hell, to begin with.
