A large collection of cross slabs, grave slabs, decorated stones and three effigies (See KD022-029023- and KD022-029027- to KD022-029057-), dating from the 10th to the 17th centuries have been placed in St. Brigid’s Cathedral (KD022-029005-).
KD022-029049-: In the S transept. According to Bradley et al. (1986 vol. 3, 237), a rectangular limestone slab (L 2.06m; Wth 0.76m; T 0.14m) is decorated in low false relief with a cross and a coat of arms. The cross has expanded terminals and part of an inscription is carried on the shaft. The arms are upside down at the foot of the cross: a heater shaped shield is divided per pale with a cross saltire and a molet for a third son in the sinister, while the dexter has three birds in chief for Sutton. An inscription in Roman capitals reads: ‘MISEREMINI MEI MISEREMINI MEI SAL:/ TEMUOS AMICCI MEI IESUS: NAM/ MICHI HODIE CRAS UOBIS/ ORATE PRO ANIMABUS REDMUNDI F/ ITZGERALD ET ANNAE SUTTON U/ XOR[I]S EIUS ET PRO ANIMABUS IACOBI FITZGE/ ALD ET MARIAE WOGAN UXORIS EIUS QUI HOC/ MONUMENTUM FIERI FECERUNT/ IDEM IACOBUS OBIIT 24 IUNII 1618’. (Fitzgerald 1888-91a, 413-4; Idem. 1910-12, 97)
