What is recorded here

A seventeenth-century coat of arms of the Creagh family fixed into the inner face of the north wall of the nave of Ratass Church (KE029-157001-). According to Harbison (1972, 13) 'It was probably during the work of 1908 that the seventeenth-century coat of arms of the Creagh family was fixed into the inner face of the north wall of the nave. It was possibly also at the same time that a stone was reset about 2.5m above ground level near the western end of the north wall of the nave on which there is a mason's mark of uncertain date, though possibly the reconstruction of around 1700'.
