Tucked away in a corner of the graveyard at Ballynoe, County Cork: a mausoleum dedicated to members of the Nason family. It takes the form of a miniature temple, with arched entrance below pediment (containing a blind oculus) and flanked by two arched winows, the building constructed of rough hewn stone with ashlar employed for door and window surrounds. There were two branches of Nasons, living in different parts of the county, but in 1808 John Nason of Newtown (which lies close to Ballynoe) married Elizabeth Nason of Bettyville (a house east of Fermoy and since demolished), and this mausoleum appears to commemorate them and their descendants (one of whom, incidentally, was Kate Meyrick, née Nason, the notorious night club proprietress in 1920s London). A monument to Elizabeth Nason dominates the interior but a nearby plaque lists subsequent members of the family, the last of whom is given as being of Newtown Lodge in 1929. This house then passed out of Nason ownership and was recently offered for sale.
