Bangor Abbey Graveyard Walk

Bangor Abbey graveyard may be said to contain a record of the social, economic and political history of Bangor and the surrounding district over at least 300 years.
Until the late 19th century, all denominations from a wide area were buried in the graveyard.
The occupations shown on many of the stones show us that the abbey served a wide cross-section of society.
There are memorials to custom men and pirates, ambassadors and factory owners, aristocrats, rebels and clergy!
Join us as our guide takes you on a historic tour looking at some of the more notable and interesting characters buried in the graveyard.
