Biography

A small number of vaults were built within the cemetery. They were designed in the Gothic style and built in sandstone. They were reached by a flight of stone steps named the Central Steps. At the entrance to the Vaults the staircase divides and continues up on either side due to the steepness of the hillside. The Steps are commonly known as the Gallagher Steps, as Thomas Gallagher, a Belfast tobacco manufacturer, is interred within. On 5th October 1869 ownership of these prestigious burying places were put up for public auction. In the 1870’s the Vaults were enclosed with High Victorian wrought iron railings. The impressive Vaults and Steps are currently undergoing restoration thanks to a Heritage Lottery Grant. (See City Cemetery Heritage) Catholic Graveyard
