Monkeying around

The heavily carved façade of Lynch's Castle bears the Lynch and Fitzgerald families' coat of arms.

 If you look closely just below this, you may notice the figure of a monkey holding a baby.


This pays tribute to the pet primate who rescued a toddler from the burning building.

Lacking in any official record, this story makes me wonder whether this a heroic tale of a leaping Tarzan, or the original King Kong.
