Sir Edmond Goldyng and Elizabeth Fleming's tomb, by Unknown (1520, c.)

"The eerie disembowelment on Elizabeth is said to depict the hollow where once their was a womb. On inspection we found a large spider had spun a web within adding more creepiness to the macabre skeleton. The idea of depicting the couple as cadavers was apparently not meant to shock but to remind people of their mortality and that no matter how affluent they are they will all end up the same way. From the womb to the tomb so to speak. " (Description from "Ireland in Ruins" webpage,
