What is recorded here

Graveslab in Moneymore marks Nicholas Darditz, whose life spanned 1516 to 1556. The plain stone lies near the east wall, bearing margin lettering and a false-relief inscription. It records one man across centuries without ornament, waiting for readers who still come to the church.

Nicholas Darditz slab dating from 1516/1556 is to be seen lying on the ground close to the E wall of the church. It is undecorated and has lettering around the margin with an inscription in false relief. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Survey of County Louth' (entry 958) (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1991). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 21 June 2013
