What is recorded here

Graveslab in Town Parks is a graveslab in Town Parks, County Tipperary, Ireland. It is the lower portion of a limestone slab, 0.85 metres by 0.55 metres, incorporated 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. The visible cross decoration carries a calvary mount containing a skull and cross-bones in false relief, with a marginal inscription dating to 1636.

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 the lower portion of a limestone graveslab (dims. 0.85m x 0.55m). It is decorated with a cross, only the calvary mount of which is visible. Within the curving mount are a skull and cross-bones in false relief. The cross shaft is not very clear. There is a marginal inscription which appears to read: I 1636 & .OA…. RODCES GENERO… NETA .ARCKI…OVOR. (Farrelly and FitzPatrick 1993). Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
