Maudlins Cemetery – History
By Brian Mc Cabe
The townland name ‘Maudlins’ is quite common and is found in a number of counties. It is generally taken to represent a derivation of ‘Magdalen’ and is often adduced as evidence of the existence of (leper) hospitals in the Middle Ages. The word ‘maudlin’ has been translated as “sickly, with eyes swollen with tears” i.e repentance for past sins.
There is evidence that at least some land at Maudlins belonged to the church from an early date. On the suppression of the monasteries, for example, the possessions of the Augustinian Friary at Naas were reported as including:
“Twenty acres of land in le Maudelins and parish of Naas, in the tenancy of Nicholas Walker, yearly value, 16 shillings”
A later inquisition held at Naas on 31 July, 6th year of Elizabeth 1 (1564) records that ‘the Maudelins of Naas’ contained four ‘messuages’ (house plus out-buildings and land) and 20 acres of land and formed part of the possessions of the chantry of St.Mary, of the church of St David. The land and buildings were held at this time by the representatives of John Donkerly.

1597 [Fiants 6117]
Grant to George Isham, of Brianston, co Wexford, gent, of…land adjoining Mawdlens, between it and Milstowne mill (co Kildare) 16 June xxxix
The Civil Survey does not refer to Maudlins but a general Census carried out around 1659 records ‘Morlings’ as having 6 Irish, but no ‘English’ inhabitants.
The ground on which the present graveyard stands was donated for that purpose by Lord Naas in 1780 as is made clear in the inscription on the entrance arch (depicted in the drawing above). The graveyard itself appears to have been enclosed in 1782. It is featured, (marked as ‘Burying Ground’) on Lieutenant Alexander Taylor’s 1783 map of Kildare. Taylor himself was, in fact, later to be buried in Maudlins (see entry no 106).
Graveyards in the 18th and early 19th centuries were often the subject of body-snatching or grave-robbing as the notorious ‘sack-em-ups’ plied their grisly trade, usually by night.
Writing in the nineteenth century the historian De Burgh recorded that an old inhabitant of Naas told him that in his boyhood “..owing to the prevalence of body snatching, the dead had to be watched over day and night for some time after interment. He mentioned the names of several bodies that had been thus taken, amongst others that of a Mr Moorehead, late Governor of Naas Gaol which was taken from Maudlins cemetery and he mentioned the gruesome fact of his having seen some of the poor old man’s grey hair in the hedge over which the body was lifted. He pointed out the house in which a body snatcher (or sack ’em up as he called him) named W….. lived, who was ultimately convicted. It was a regular trade and carts with wheels covered with leather were employed so as to deaden the sound.”
By 1877 things had become somewhat more civilised. Charges for opening a grave in that year – according to the Vestry Book – were 5 shillings for an adult and 3 shillings and six pence for a child (under 10).
The original cemetery was extended in 1889 and a caretaker was first appointed in October 1902.
Below is an introductory video to Maudlins Cemetery featuring Brian McCabe and produced by the Rev. Philip Heak for Naas Union of the Church of Ireland. This is followed by the 1989 survey of the inscriptions. These are interspersed with further videos discussing some of the families buried in the cemetery, along with a number of photographs and 3D models by Seán Sourke.
