What is recorded here

Cord church still holds a market cross fragment in its east gable, saving the lost monument from complete erasure. The small limestone block carries a head on one side and the pietà on the other, while rain and time have worn the rest into uncertainty. It may have stood in a late medieval marketplace, enduring trade, prayer and forgetting before becoming part of the church itself.

A rectangular, heavily weathered, fragment of limestone (0.44m by 0.40m by 0.24m) built into the N return of the E gable of Cord church (LH024-030001-). The two visible sides are decorated, one side with a head and the other with the pietà (Our Lady's Pity) scene. Thought by King (CLAJ 1984, 334-9) to be part of a market cross (LH024-030004-) and could be of late medieval date. Compiled by: Claire Breen Date of upload: 28 August 2012
