What is recorded here

This rectangular graveslab (L 1.22m; Wth 0.62m; T 0.1m) is in the chancel of the Dominican church (GA084-001014-), close to the S end of the W side of Lady Matilda Bermingham’s late 18th-century tomb. When recorded by Macalister (1913, Pl. 1) it was located on the S side of the tomb, close to its W end. An inscription, which is in relief and with many of the letters ligatured, reads: ‘HERE: LYES : BRIDGED | AND : MARY : BERMING |HAM: DAVGHTERS : TO | EDWARD : LORD : BARON| OF ATHENRY: AND | THE : LADY : MARY : BVKE | HIS : WIFE. THEY : DYED | IN : THEIR : INFANCY : IN | 1676 : AND : 1677’ (ibid., 212, IX).
