What is recorded here

Graveslab in Town Parks is a graveslab in Town Parks, County Tipperary, Ireland. A fragment of the limestone slab, 0.66 metres long and tapering from 0.45 to 0.37 metres wide, is set into the inner face of the west boundary wall of the Church of Ireland church that replaced the medieval church of St. Nicholas of Myra around 1813. Its raised Latin inscription records a death on the fifteenth day of a month in 1634.

On the W side of the town, N of Main Street. The medieval church of St. Nicholas of Myra (TS085-004006-) appears to have survived until c. 1813 when it was demolished and replaced by a C of I church (O'Flanagan 1930, vol. 1, 63). Incorporated in the inner face of the W boundary wall of the church is a fragment of a limestone graveslab (dims. L 0.66m; Wth 0.45m which tapers to 0.37m). There is an inscription across the slab in plain rasied latin script which appears to read: CVDO A9 AETA…VIZ DECIMO QUINT DIE MES…DNI 1634 (Farrelly and FitzPatrick 1993).
