The Aylmers were seated at Lyons from

The year 1300 to the close of the last century

In 1799 the family of the present owners obtained possesion

of this estate,and four years after, the Remains of the Aylmers

were disturbed. Their very graves and tombs levelled and defaced.

Gerald J Aylmer esq. representative of the family

caused this tablet to be erected in 1878 in memory of

The last resting place of his ancerstors.

R.I.P

The above tablet was removed from the

chapel  at Lyons by the 4th Baron Cloncurry

who like his predecessors wished to

put out of sight,all traces of the Aylmers
