What is recorded here

This is described by Carrigan (1905, iv, 186-7) as follows: ‘In the graveyard [KK037-003002-], beside the south wall of the chancel is the sculptured base of a wayside cross, which formerly stood on a graduated base a little to the south of the church, and which having been thrown into the neighbouring mill-stream, was carried thence, for safety, to its present position, by the late Canon Moore, P.P., Johnstown. One side of the stone has a shield with the arms of De Frayne impaling those of Fitzgerald, and at the base the initials R.F., E.G., from which it must be concluded that the cross of which this stone formed a part, was erected by the same lady who set up the De Frayne tomb in the parish church. Of the inscription nothing is now legible but the first word, Orate.’ Compiled by: Paul Walsh Date of upload: 5 August 2015
