English: Monument of Dean Peter Drelincourt. The effigy was sculpted by John Michael Rysbrack, the other parts of the monuments were created by the London sculptor William Colebourne (fl. 1694–1727) who worked along with John van Nost the Elder and William Kidwell who moved to Ireland before 1712. The sculpture is located in the north aisle between two windows in front of a plaque with following inscription:

En tibi Lector
Effigies PETRI DRELINCURTII LLD.
E Drelincurtiorum gente Parisiensi,
Liberati et erudita;
in qua pater claruit Carolus;
Cui, quod fides reformata latius effulgeat,
Debent Populares :
quod mortem non extimescant,
Christiani Universi.
Hunc habuit studiorum pariter et morum exemplar.
Patriam reliquit adolescens,
Ecclesiæ Anglicanæ desiderio,
Non Suæ infortunio :
Habuitque Angliam
Non Asylum sed Patriam.
Ubi visus est, Jacobo Ormondiæ Duci, dignus,
qui fibi esset a sacris domesticis;
Nepoti, Oxoniæ literis operam danti,
Tam studiorum quam consiliorum moderator;
Quibus muneribus fideliter functus,
Ad hujus Ecclesiæ Decanatum,
Ultra vota et ambitum evectus est.
Hoc marmor mortuo dicavit uxor,
Pietate Superflua;
Cui nempe, hæc Ecclesia, quam decenter ornata.
Et tantum non extructa;
Cui Ecclesia Sancti Dulaci, non tantum extructa,
Sed et sacra supellectili pretiose instructa,
Etiam Pastore redonata;
Cui, Hospitium puerorum inopum apud Dublinienses,
Ampla munificentia ditatum,
Monumenta exstant perennia.
Tu Lector
Adstrue tibi vivo monumentum
Cippum apponant aut etiam non apponant
Posteri.

An additional inscription is to be found at the plinth:

Such was the second Drelincourt, a Name
Victorious over Death, and dear to Fame.
The Christian's Praise by different Measures won.
Successive grac’d the Father and the Son:
To Sacred Service one his Wealth consign’d;
And one the living Treasure of his Mind.
Twere rash to say whole Talent did excell;
Each was so rich, and each improv’d so well.
Nor was his Charity delay’d till Death;
He chose to give what others but bequeath.
Much tho he gave, and oft, yet more he meant,
Had Life proportion’d to his will been lent.
But to compleat a scheme so well design’d,
Belongs to Her who shar’d his Bed and Mind,
Whose pious sorrows thus to future Days
Transmit his Image, and extend his Praise.
