Rotting Corpse Crypt Entrance

The ruined church at Stamullen, Co.Meath. St. Christopher's chapel (built 1434) in the ruined church is the burial place of the Preston family, Viscounts Gormanston. There is a rare "Cadaver Stone" in St.Christopher's Chapel (the Preston chapel). Dating from c.1450, the stone depicts the decomposing remains of a young woman, with numerous reptiles and creatures feeding off the corpse. It may be the tomb of Jane Dartas. William Preston, 2nd Viscount Gormanston was buried here 1532. Effigy survives. Christopher Preston, 4th Viscount Gormanston was buried here 1600. Jenico Preston, 5th Viscount Gormanston was buried here 1630. A chantry chapel, dedicated to St Christopher, was added to the south wall of the chancel by Sir Robert Preston, 3rd Baron and first Viscount of Gormanston. The mid 15th century chapel has a nice pointed doorway in the west wall. At the base of each jamb is a head, carved upside down. The two stone heads, pictured above, are built into the south wall of the chapel. The most interesting monuments are situated inside the chapel, #vault #tomb #skeleton
