​Bishop Kennedy

Bishop Kennedy decided to have his tomb constructed in his chapel. Between the consecration of the church and his death in 1465. The tomb is set into the wall immediately before the apse, positioned as close to the altar as possible. In the recess is a large slab of black marble. Beneath which is the tomb-chest in which Kennedy was interred.
