The National Monuments Service's description

Formerly on the internal N wall of the chancel of St. Mary's church (TS083-019991-), Clonmel. In 1805 the chancel was shortened by 8.8m (Burke 1907, 270) leaving the plaque exposed on what is now the S wall of the vestry tower. A square wall monument (Wth and H 1.25m) consisting of an inscribed panel (Wth and H 0.92m) on polished limestone within a moulded frame. The inscription was transcribed by Bagwell/Clarke (Vigors 1888-91, vol. 1, 241) as, 'Underfoot w[i]th five of their children Samuel ffrancis and Grace (who died in their Infancy) John at his 20th yeare, Xber 9th 1675, and Jane in her 22nd yeare, 7ber 27th 1681, are interred the bodyes of Doctor Samuel Ladyman and Grace his Wife, teh Daughter of Dr. William Hutchinson, De Oxen, she deceasing on ye [ ] day of March 1663 and her husbank on ye [ ] of ffebruary, 1683 who left this epitaph to be fixed over their graves. "Sleep dearest heart and now thy mourner may / Putt off this flesh to mix it w[i]th thy clay / Sleep infant dust freed from Earths Toyl & Strife / By death's surprize ith nonage of y[ou]r life / Sleep vigorous youth whose keener soul brake through / Its crazy case and bade this wourld adieu. / Sleep vertuous maid, wife, mother, and all in one / Alive beloved by all bewailed now goun / Sleep till that trump w[hic]h rouseth from their graves / Both men and children, Princes and their slaves / Shall call us thence, then wake w[i]th sts & sing / Eternal praises to our heavenly King"'.
