James Graves (1815-1886), archaeologist, was born in Kilkenny. After graduation from T.C.D. he became a clergyman in the diocese of Ossory. A founding member of the Kilkenny Archaeological Society in 1849, like his contemporary John Prendergast, he was a keen historian who wrote several articles, and was author of The History, Architecture, and Antiquities of the Cathedral Church of St. Canice, Kilkenny.
