What is recorded here

Graveslab in Fethard is a graveslab in Fethard, County Tipperary, Ireland. Knowles recorded a tomb inside the Augustinian abbey church bearing the inscription Here lies Edmund Everard, Gentleman, A.D. 152. The slab may have moved to the graveyard and become one of the graveslabs whose inscriptions are no longer legible, but it cannot be identified with certainty and remains unlocated.

According to Knowles (1903, 131) within the church of the Augustinian abbey (TS070-040004-) there was a tomb with an inscription which he translates as 'Here lies Edmund Everard, Gentleman, A.D. 152.'. It is possible that this graveslab was moved to the graveyard (TS070-040044-) and it one of the graveslabs whose inscriptions are no longer legible. As it can not be identified with certainty it is currently unlocated. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 18 January 2012
