What is recorded here

Within the 19th-century (C of I) church dedicated to St John’s, which is to the N of the centre of Lanesborough town (LF017-003----). This 17th-century limestone armorial plaque, on the W wall of the church, displays the coat of arms of the 1st Viscount Lanesborough, Sir George Lane, who died in 1682. The family motto beneath it in Latin reads 'INCONCVSSA VIRTUS', which translates as unshaken virtue. The plaque may originally have been on the family vault beneath the church (LF017-030004-) (Brewer 1825-6, 275) or it may have been in the recess above the entrance gateway to the graveyard (LF017-003008-) as illustrated by Grose (1791, vol. 1, 74).
