In September 2019, Jenet Peers (née Copinger) visited St. Mary's
Collegiate Church, Youghal, Co Cork and met a gentleman,
Wayne Ruxton, who sent her these pages consisting of pictures of
gravestones in the church yard.
Coppinger, Edward:
“Hic jacet Edvardvs.....ger
Ville de Yoghil
mercantor qvi obit 12 IVLII Anno Domini 1624.
Helena Ronane vxor ujvs posvit.”
This tomb
was recorded in Dineley’s history as Edvardvs Coppinger,
with an original location under the rubble of
the dismantled Portingall Chapel at the Western extremity of
the South aisle.
In 1814, during excavation of this tomb, was found a pectoral
cross,
(“similar to those worn by Roman Catholic prelates”)
lying deep, with a human skeleton beneath it.
