What is recorded here
This rectangular wall monument (H 1m; Wth 0.8m) of polished limestone was formerly located in the C of I church in Carrick-on-Suir, Co. Tipperary (TS085-004040-). It was recorded there by FitzGerald (1904-06, 144) as ‘a white and black marble mural monument bearing the Power coat-of-arms, with the following inscription: Here lyeth the Body of the RIGHT HONBLE JOHN POWER EARLE of TYRONE who died the 14th of October 1693 in the 29th yeare of his Age’. After the church was deconsecrated the wall monument was moved to Clonagam C of I church in Co. Waterford. It is currently located on the internal face of the E gable wall, 1.4m from the NE angle and is 2.55m above the internal ground level. The incised inscription is still clearly visible but the coat-of-arms is no longer apparent.
