Rory O'Tunny

Rory O'Tunny was an Irish sculptor.
Rory O'Tunny was born into a family of sculptors, said to have originated in Callan, County Kilkenny. According to his own signature in Kilcooly Abbey, his father's name was Patrick. Rory was primarily a sculptor of tombs, eight of which of which he signed with his full name. Among his more prominent works are three tombs in Kilcooly Abbey, the resting place of Sir John Grace and his wife, Honora Brenach, in the North aisle of St. Canice' Cathedral, County Kilkenny, and the tombs of Robert Walsh and his wife, Katherine Poer, at Jerpoint Abbey.
Several of the chest tombs at St. Canice's Cathedral which had been taken apart and scattered in the graveyard by Cromwellian forces and re-assembled in the 19th century have been partially identified as O'Tunny's work by John Hunt.
He is also believed to have carved the Trinity Stone once housed in St. Mary's Church, Callan, now in the Catholic Church in Callan.
