In the interior of the church at Patrickswell (TS083-004001-), fixed against the E gable, there is a 17th-century armorial plaque of White family with scroll decoration on either side in raised relief. This was probably part of the White altar tomb (TS083-004004-) which was originally erected in the White Mortuary Chapel, St. Mary's Clonmel (TS083-019001-) and was moved to St. Patrick's Well in 1805 when the chapel was demolished (Burke 1907, 265-6; Holland 1992, 199). Burke (ibid. 267) describes the coat of arms as 'carved in bold relief-a chevron engrailed between three roses, two and one. Round the shield is stiff, conventional foliage, the tendrils pendant at the sides being wound into double true lovers' knots. The crest is a dexter arm in armour, couped at the shoulder, grasping a branch with three roses. Underneath, in Roman letters, is the motte- "Et Trias est Numero et natura est una colorum. En ubi praesidium Vitus et arma locat" [Trinity in number. Unity in colour. Herein White puts his faith and his arms.]'.
