What is recorded here

Tomb is a tomb (effigial) in Ballynatray Demesne, County Waterford, Ireland. It belongs to the early ecclesiastical site of St. Molana, which adopted the Augustinian rule in the 12th century and became linked in local story to the Anglo-Norman lord Raymond le Gros. That association is unlikely, but it preserves the memory of his reputed effigial grave-slab, recorded by Daniel Grose in the 1820s or 1830s and now lost.

The early ecclesiastical site of St. Molana (WA037-011001-) adopted the Augustinian rule in the 12th century, possibly when it became associated with the Anglo-Norman lord Raymond le Gros, who was said to be buried there. The association is unlikely, but his reputed effigial grave-slab, which was recorded by Daniel Grose in the 1820s or 1830s (Stalley 1991, 11) is now lost. Stalley, R.
