What is recorded here

Graveslab in Townparks holds two limestone markers inside St. Mary's graveyard, one possibly belonging to William Hynes in the seventeenth century. The older slab rises with a gabled top, a Celtic cross cut through its heart and a smaller Latin cross perched above. The crude eastern marker lies lower, its plain cross worn by rain and foottraffic. Together they mark death, faith and forgetfulness in the same quiet ground.

Two gravemarkers in St. Mary's graveyard (LH017-101025-). One to William Hynes (LH017-101012-) is possibly of seventeenth century date. It is a limestone slab (H 0.6m, Wth 0.38m, T 0.05m), gabled on top with an incised Celtic cross and a small Latin cross on top of the circle. To the E of the church (LH017-101007-) there is a gravemarker (LH017-101027-) of uncertain date set in the ground. It is a crude limestone slab (H 0.8m, Wth 0.4m) with an incised Latin cross.
