    “In Jamestown school yard, an old stone stands on its end, against the Chapel wall.”

    Share Share Post
    In Jamestown school yard, an old stone stands on its end against the Chapel wall.
    It is a flat stone, 3 feet high about 1 1/2 feet wide and 4 inches deep.
    It is a bluish stone, and the upper surface is smooth and level.
    There are 2 angels on the left and right upper corners.
    Near the bottom there is a drawing of skull.
    In the centre are crossbones. There is a cross with I.H.S.
    Some people say it was a gravestone over a priest's grave, which was inside in the Church. There is a tablet to the memory of a Parish Priest on the wall inside in the Church. Jamestown Church was at one time the Parish church. Dr Slevin's is the memorial tablet.
