What is recorded here

Demolished houses in Rath Lower yielded an ogee-headed window, now set in the presbytery of St James' Roman Catholic Church. Earlier records describe a late medieval lintel embedded in a Grange wall, possibly carried from Grange Abbey. Stone from one building reappears in another, preserving a shape that human hands kept returning across centuries.

A late medieval window lintel stone was to be seen in the wall of a house in the village of Grange in the 1960s and is believed to have possibly originated from 'Grange Abbey' (LH008-099001-) (ASI file). The demolition of 19th-century houses on the roadside in 1990's produced fragments of an ogee-headed window, which were moved to the presbytery of St James' Roman Catholic Church (O'Carroll 2000, 7).
