Here lies
The Reverend James McNamee
Priest of the Church
of Tamlaght O’Crilly
Outstanding in kindness to the poor
Distinguished in wisdom, learning and devotion
Departed this life 29 July* 1863
Aged 66
May he rest in peace. Amen.

     * = the 4th day before 1 August, counting the days at both ends

Omitted the translation of the abbreviation " D O M" at the start"

"To God the Most Good, Most Great"

And I think "Parish priest" rather than "priest of the church"
