"Mrs. Maunsell was anxious to erect a monument to the late E.E. Maunsell. She be informed that on submitting a design for the same the sanction of the the vestry will be given”. For Rev. Edward Eyre Maunsell, who was related and who according to his obituary was "... interred in the Eyre Maunsell vault in the Collegiate Church of St. Nicholas" see The Galway Vindicator. April 27th. (1864) and The Galwav Express. April 30th. (1864). The vault mentioned could be beneath No. 234 (in the graveyard) or in the church somewhere. No. 335 in the Blessed Sacrament Chapel has been moved and is a small recumbent slab. No. 347 is a wall plaque in the church. It is likely therefore that the vault was beneath No. 234 unless there was another earlier burial place which continued to be used. The Eyre slab (which is recumbent beneath the organ in the French Transept) (No. 363) may be the location. There is another plaque in the wall above it. (Two other wall plaques to the Eyres, Nos. 406 and 407, commemorate Eyre family members who were probably buried beneath No. 363 however).
