What is recorded here

Thomas and Peter Creagh died in 1497 and 1546, marking a half-century span on one limestone slab inside St. Mary's Cathedral. Their names still appear in Gothic letters within the Arthur chapel, preserving a family line across two centuries of Limerick life. The stone turns a private loss into a public timeline, forcing visitors to measure human decades against the cathedral's endless stone shadow.
