• ME028-001 Church
  Description

  Situated on a rise at the S edge of a plateau with the N edge of the valley of the W-E Nanny Water c. 130m to the S and the stream is c. 450m to the S. References date at least from 1306 and the names of some of the clergy are known (Ward 1967, 65-6). The church of Nany is listed in the ecclesiastical taxation (1302-06) of Pope Nicholas IV (Cal. doc. Ire. 5, 253). Ussher (1622) describes the church and chancel of Nanny or Julianstowne as being indifferently repaired (Erlington 1847-64, 1, lxiv). Dopping's Visitation Book (1682-5) describes the church of the Blessed Virgin at Julianstown as in good repair with a font, a pulpit and seats, although the chancel was roofless (Ellison 1971, 35-6). At that time there was glass in the windows, slates on the roof, and the graveyard was enclosed. The present Church of Ireland church was built in 1770 (Lewis 1837, 2, 32-3) and is in a subrectangular graveyard (dims c. 50-60m NNW-SSE; c. 45-55m ENE-WSW) defined by masonry walls, although in the 19th century the graveyard was D-shaped (dim c. 95m NE-SW), extending further to the SW. There is no evidence of the medieval church, but a font, of uncertain authenticity, is in the present church (Roe 1968, 121). It is a shallow bowl (ext. diam. 0.66m; int. diam. 0.54m; D 0.14m) with the drain hole filled in. It is standing on a low, expanding foot (diam. of base 0.94m; H 8cm). Lining the E side of the path up to the door of the church is the 'Apostle Stone', which is the limestone surround of a chest tomb in three sections (total L 3.9m; H 0.6m). It is crudely executed and unfinished, probably dating from the 17th century. Some saints, including Peter with a key almost as big as himself, Andrew with a boat-hook and James with a small satchel like a hand-bag can be recognised. It is said to have come originally from Ballylehane castle, Co. Laois (LA025-023----). The head of a sandstone high cross (H 0.64m; Wth 0.62m; T 0.2m) from Colpe (ME021-012005-) is now displayed in the porch. There is a roll-moulding on the edge of the cross-shaft and arms, with a narrower moulding inside it. There is a mortise-hole on top. At the centre of the head on the E face is a slightly domed boss, surrounded by two circular ribs. The arms are decorated with interlace. The shaft bears an irregular angular interlace. On the W face the centre of the head is occupied by a crucified Christ clad in a short garment. Flanking Him are Stephaton and Longinus. Beneath each of Christ's feet there is a spiral, out of which two serpents unroll themselves (Harbison1992, 59-60). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Meath' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1987). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload/revision: 18 August, 2014

• ME028-001002 Tomb - chest tomb (present location)
  Description

  Lining the E side of the path up to the door of the present Church of Ireland church at Julianstown is the 'Apostle Stone', which is the limestone surround of a chest-tomb in three sections (total L 3.9m; H 0.6m). It is crudely executed and unfinished, probably dating from the 17th century. The head of each saint is surrounded by a cowl of uncut stone, indicating the unfinished state of the carving. All were to be represented as priests or monks with the two ends of girdles almost reaching the ground at the front of the pleated habits. All were bearded, but only three of the beards are pointed and only four are finished. Some saints can be identified (numbered from the left), but at least five are represented with open books floating above and sometimes below their hands, merely indicating their apostolic mission. Amongst those who can be identified is Thomas (1) with a set-square to represent the church he is said to have built in India with his own hands. St Peter (7) has a key almost as big as himself, Andrew (8) has a boat-hook (one of his symbols), and James (9) has a small satchel like a hand-bag, representing pilgrims as he is associated with the pilgrimage to Compostella in Spain. Saint No 5 is carrying weighing scales, which would indicate St Michael, who might be an Archangel but is not an Apostle. The stone is said to have come originally from Ballylehane castle, Co. Laois (LA025-023----) and is associated with the Hovenden and ffolliot families. See the attached images: 001: Saints 1-3, including Thomas (1); 002: Saints 4-6, including Michael (5); 003: Saints Peter (7), Andrew (8), James (9); 004: Saints 9-12.

  Description

  The head of a 10th century sandstone high cross (H 0.64m; Wth 0.62m; T 0.20m) was excavated from the graveyard of the Church of Ireland church at Colp (ME021-012004-) by K. Campbell, and it is now displayed in the porch of St Mary's Church of Ireland church at Julianstown. There is a roll-moulding on the edge of the cross-shaft and arms, with a narrower moulding inside it. There is a mortise-hole on top. At the centre of the head is a slightly domed boss, surrounded by two circular ribs. The arms are decorated with interlace. The shaft bears an irregular angular interlace.
