Bishop Plunket’s grave

Beneath the East Window, a raised stone slab commemorates Benjamin John Plunket, his wife Dorothea Hester Plunket, and her brother Thomas Edmond Butler. Thomas Butler’s name is quite hard to see but you will find it on the lower step on the far side, nearer to the road; he was born 6th April, 1876, and died on 23rd December, 1942. When Bishop Plunket died in 1947 he became the last person to have a coffin burial in the grounds of All Saints’. 

From here please go to the Garden of Remembrance, which is the area with the stone cross and benches. As you go towards it, notice to your left the mound at the edge of the church grounds. This was raised in 1889 to deaden noise from a blacksmith’s forge which at that date was situated on the opposite side of the road.
