What is recorded here

This is one of two identical tomb niches (see also GA084-001075-) in the N wall of the aisle that date to the 15th century. This example (Wth 2.04m; H 2.18m; D 0.38m), at the E end of the wall, remains intact. It consists of ‘two low ogee arches, underneath equilateral arches; the openings are richly moulded and cusped’ (Macalister 1913, 209, Fig. 6). (Bradley and Dunne 1992, 33) The following image has been uploaded: GA084-001074-_01.jpg Complied by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 12 November 2018
