The National Monuments Service's description
In the centre aisle of the present Church of Ireland church (1818) is a graveslab commemorating Blakeney & Taylor d. 1587. It is a coffin-shaped limestone slab with a marginal inscription in false relief Gothic lettering (L1.8m, Wth 0.64m; Bradley and King 1988, iv, 318). There is currently no access to the Church as it suffered an area of roof collapse.
