originally consisted of two parts, the lower portion containing the
ambry for the reception of the sacramental elements, and the upper
portion being enriched with a beautifully carved bas-relief,
representing a monstrance of elaborate tabernacle work, supported by two
angels, and crowned with a sculptured crucifix. The ambry is now
wanting, except the lintel, which bears the words Jesus Maria. Over the
lintel is a panel which no doubt formerly contained sculpture, now
removed. The whole design is surrounded with a frame composed of a
series of baluster shaped shafts, covered with flat foliage of a
Renaissance character.
Whether this decorated work came from Kinkell or not, it evidently
belongs to the period when that church was built, being of the latest
Gothic design, which prevailed immediately before the Reformation.
