Irish Church Monuments, 1570-1880

 

In the years 1970-71, as part of his research for a post-graduate thesis at Edinburgh University, Homan visited churches all over Ireland where he photographed and recorded sculptural wall memorials of the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries.  Many of these are by Irish sculptors, but a number were ‘imports’ from sculptors in Britain and they include works by many of the major British and Irish of the period. There are monuments by John Bacon, Chantrey, Cheere, Farrell, Flaxman, Foley, Hewetson, Hogan, Kirk, MacDowell, Nollekens, Roubiliac, Rysbrack, Scheemakers, Edward Smyth, Turnerelli, Van Nost, Westmacott, Joseph Wilton and others. Homan’s complete archive of photos and notes is now in the Irish Architectural Archive (www.iarc.ie) where it is available. As Homan was principally interested in the monuments as sculpture, he did not record inscriptions, only the names and dates of the deceased. There is an Index to these names in Homan’s book and this Index is reproduced below as an aide to genealogical research.
