Stunning sketches of 16th century mural tomb at the west end of the nave in Kilconnell. Below this this canopy of ‘flamboyant’ tracery is a panel with 6 carved figures. Above are two small figures, one of St. Francis and the other of a Bishop. The tomb’s benefactor is unknown

Look what gorgeousness landed at my door yesterday! A sneaky wee bday surprise from Keith by one of my favourite artists @JohnFlynnArt! Drawn from one of my pics of Kilconnell Friary in County Galway the detail is AMAZING ✨ I could stare at it all day 😍 #irishart #johnflynnart
