Father Christopher Nuny, who serv’d this Parish devoutly 41 years. Died Nov. ye 9th, in the 78th year of his age, 1765.” Inside the Church three successive P.P.’s are buried, to whom mural tablets have been raised. “Here lieth the body of the Rev. Anthony Higgins, Parish Priest of Caragh and Downings for upwards of 40 years. He died 6 February, 1831, aged 92 years.”-“This Tablet has been erected by the Parishioners of Caragh and Downings, to testify their esteem of the late Revd. Mathew Tierney, who zealously discharged the duties of Parish Priest for a period of 26 years.”-“Of your charity, pray for the soul of the Rev. Denis Muldowney, who died on the 26h day of June, 1875. He was, for over 18 years, the Pastor of Caragh and Downings, and was loved and respected by the parishioner, who erected this monument to his memory. May he rest in peace. Amen.” Father Clowry, Curate of this parish, is also interred here: “Have mercy, O Lord, on the soul of Rev. Patrick Clowry, who died August 27th, 1883. The High Altar was erected to his memory by the parishioners and Mr. Jeremiah Clowry.” http://www.kildare.ie/ehistory/2006/07/carbury_parish_of.asp
