When entering the church two large tombs are conspicuous in the centre, one in granite, a huge monument to memory of Henry, third Marquis, the other the grey marble tomb to the memory of John, fourth Marquis.
To the left, at the top of the church, is the splendid work of art raised to memory of Sir Marcus Beresford, Earl of Tyrone, and Catherine, Countess, by whose marriage the baronies of Beresford and le Poer were united.
A very interesting monument of which we give an illustration, is that recessed in the right hand corner, upon which, though the church be dark, the light comes freely, and seems to illumine the artistic figures which adorn it.
