What is recorded here
Graveslab in Fiddown is a floor slab bearing a Latin inscription in Roman capitals for Edmund Daton of Cloincunny and Joanna Den, daughter of Fulke Den, dated around 1630. It lies where the church floor still carries the weight of a life lived and lost. The names and dates remain clear even though the days and deeds have faded from memory.
