Place & story
Miles Brien’s signed work
The architectural inventory identifies gravestones signed by Miles Brien of Rathduff at Saint Peter’s graveyard in Templeludigan. Its recorded collection of limestone markers carries death dates from 1747 to 1960; that range belongs to the markers, rather than dating the graveyard’s foundation. The 2007 record also describes granite-capped entrance piers and wrought-iron gates, preserving details of the setting after the church’s standing fabric had disappeared. [2]
