What is recorded here
Richard Daly died in 1555 after restoring the Ballynadrumny church, and his graveslab still marks the burials within it. He transformed a weary building into a sacred home before joining the men and women it sheltered. The stone preserves his pride and the community's gratitude across centuries.
A 16th century graveslab which, together with a possible 17th century graveslab (KD003-019004-), is located in a church (KD003-019001-). The translated Latin inscription reads 'The burial-place of Richard, son of Malachy Daly of Ballynadrumny, the noble-born restorer of this church, in the year of the Lord 1555' (Fitzgerald 1899-1902, 133).
