What is recorded here

Five late medieval limestone panels line the north transept wall of the modern Carmelite church in Kildare, yet their true origin remains disputed between the nearby Carmelite and Franciscan friaries. One small panel carries a relief angel with joined hands and a pleated garment, possibly Gabriel or Michael, floating above the marble like a forgotten prayer. The stones may have traveled from a dissolved house into a living church, carrying devotion across centuries without naming their own journey.

Late medieval limestone panels (KD022-029062-, KD022-029063-, KD022-029064-, KD022-029065- and KD022-029066-) set in the N transept wall of the modern Carmelite church may have originated in the earlier Carmelite Friary (KD022-029007-) immediately to the S, however, acording to Bradley et al. (1986 Vol. 3, 244-6), they are said to have come from the Franciscan Friary (KD022-029006-). KD022-029066- is a small rectangular panel (H 0.29m; Wth 0.20m) decorated in relief with an angel in a round-necked, pleated garment, wearing a head-band, and with hands joined. Possibly a depiction of St. Gabriel or St. Michael. (Hunt 1974, 160, no. 85) Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 9 February 2012
