Abstract:		 The seventeenth-century funeral monuments of Co. Kilkenny are documented and changes in their design and meaning related both to local socio-economic factors and wider historical events. The traditional 'box-tombs' of the start of the century, displaying Christo-centric iconography and manufactured by Walter Kerin, were slowly abandoned in favour of more visual monumental forms. Heraldic wall plaques were commissioned, together with much larger mural structures made by Patrick Kerin, which were based on a classical architectural paradigm of inscriptions and heraldry being equally crucial in communicating to the observer. This religious ambivalence assisted their survival in Protestant parish churches as visible markers perpetuating the burial rites of Catholic families in their traditional locations. Monumental enthusiasm during the Kilkenny Confederacy (1642'“9) was terminated abruptly by the Cromwellian invasion; following which, a lack of both suitable patrons and skilled sculptors hindered the resumption of the custom until well into the eighteenth century.
