Ah yes these steam powered computers. You need to use best quality steam coal. Household stuff does not work so well. Next Irish truck passing I will but a pallet of Welsh coal on for you !!!!

I wonder what Poole was trying to mask behind. You can still see tablet for Captain Goff but only part of the text. I presume we are in Christ church Cathedral Waterford from tags and header notes. No pictures of Rice in their picture Gallery. christchurchwaterford.com/

George FitzPatrick Nothing like good Welsh coal to warm the cockles! Looking at the image on the lid it appears to be a "cadaver" rather than the usual fine robes? I don't think I've ever seen that on a sarcophagus before!

The Collegiate Church of St. Nicholas, Galway.

This is one of Galway’s great stories. It is said that in 1493, the mayor and magistrate of Galway James Lynch FitzStephen, hanged his own son from the window of his home. Lynch's son confessed to have murdered a man, a Spanish merchant sailor in the care of the family who had romanced his girlfriend. When no one could be found to carry out the execution, Judge Lynch hanged (or lynched as the practice became known around the world after this event) his son himself, ensuring that justice prevailed, before retiring into seclusion. The memorial is now embedded in stone above a Gothic doorway on Market Street near the graveyard at St. Nicholas’s Church. www.activeme.ie/guides/attractions-2/lynchs-memorial-wind...

Via Chetham's Library with interesting comments and legible inscriptions at large size -

Beautiful and peaceful image. It looks as if she is sleeping

She looks very sweet. This much more natural than most post mortem images; it's as though she's just having a nap in the afternoon.

I thought she was napping...till I read the description :(

how incredible and mistic..
