Elphin Windmill

Elphin Windmill is a fully restored 18th-century tower mill in Elphin, County Roscommon, viewed as a rare piece of Irish industrial architectural heritage, and possibly the oldest operational windmill in Ireland. History Elphin windmill is a circular, three-stage windmill, dating from around 1730. It was built by Edward Synge, a local landowner and Bishop of Elphin. The mill provided corn meal for the local people, as well as milling flax. The windmill has four timber sails, and unusually, the rotating roof is thatched, originally in rye. The timber tail pole is connected from the roof to a cart wheel on the ground guided by a groove, which was used to change the direction of the sails. According to the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage, "after the Napoleonic Wars ended in 1815, cereal-milling became less profitable, and many windmills fell into disuse thereafter...[the] Elphin [windmill] was already in ruins by the 1830s". This is corroborated by a second-hand account (reaching back to at least 1843) by the "School's Collection" from the National Folklore Collection, a national survey of local folklore conducted by the schoolchildren of Ireland (including Elphin's), dating from the 1930s. One entry from May 1938 states "There is a windmill about a quarter of a mile on the north-side of the town. It is in the village of Chanterland and it is on the left-hand side of the road as a person goes from Elphin to Boyle. It is a circular structure and it was well built because although it is very old it is as good as when it was built. There are two doors on it one facing the other but one is filled with stones. There is a stream going by the mill and where the Boyle road crosses it is called The Mill Dam. The stream rises in the Deanery and it flows in an eastern direction. There are none of the mill stones to be seen around the Mill. A man named Culligan who died fifteen years ago said that the Windmill was not worked for eighty years before that". Current use The windmill had fallen into ruins by 1830. It was extensively renovated over the course of three years, ending in 1996, by a FÁS scheme and Elphin Area Community Enterprise Ltd. The interior was reconstructed using wood. The windmill is now fully functional, and was officially opened to the public on 22 June 1996 by actor Gabriel Byrne. There is a modern addition to a small building, known as Windmill Cottage, that houses a visitor's centre. References External links Visit Roscommon website Discover Ireland
Grange Castle

Grange Castle (irisch Caisleán na Gráinsí) ist ein Tower House in Grange West im irischen County Kildare. Es entstand im 15. Jahrhundert und gilt heute als National Monument. Geschichte Die Familie De Bermingham ließ die Burg um 1460 erbauen. In den 1600er-Jahren wurden Kamine und Zinnen hinzugefügt, für deren Schönheit die Burg bekannt ist. Im 17. Jahrhundert wurde ein großes Landhaus an das Tower House angebaut, das aber später niedergebrannt wurde. 1735 verkauften die De Berminghams Grange Castle an die Familie Tyrell, die es bis 1988 in Besitz hatte. Robert Tyrell transferierte es dann an das OPW. 1998 wurde der im Norden und Osten ausgebaute Bawn archäologisch untersucht. Der Tyrell Trust, dem das Anwesen gehört, erhielt zwar Hilfen zur Restaurierung der Burg, aber die diesbezüglichen Pläne wurden 2003 aufgegeben. Nun verfällt die Burg langsam.

Замок Грендж

Замок Грендж (англ. Grange Castle, ірл. Caisleán na Gráinsí) — кашлен на Граньші — один із замків Ірландії, розташований в графстві Кілдер, на території землі Західний Грендж, біля селища Каррік, баронство Карберрі, на кордоні з графством Оффалі. Нині замок Грендж є пам'яткою історії та архітектури Ірландії національного значення. Істолрія замку Грендж Замок Грендж був побудований в 1460 році феодалами Де Бермінгем. Декоративні бійниці і димоходи були добудовані в замку 1600 року. Замок Грендж знаходився в руках феодалів Де Бермінгем до 1735 року, коли замок був проданий родині Тірелл. Ця родина володіла замком до 1988 року, потім передала замок у власність тресту «OPW», який очолював Роберт Тіррел. Це було зроблено для того, щоб отримати фінансування реставрації замку. Реставрація так і не була завершена — реставраційні роботи припинилися 2003 року, хоча було відреставровано великий зал замку. Сподівалися від реставрувати замок для приваблення туристів, але справа так і лишилася незавершеною. Нині замок доволі занедбаний і продовжує руйнуватись. Колись навколо замку були сади і розкішний маєток, чимало господарських споруд, але зараз все занедбано. Прізвище Тірелл досить поширене в Ірландії. Тірелли походять від Х'ю Тірелла — лицаря, що в 1170 році брав участь в англо-норманському завоюванні Ірландії. До того, як Тірелли поселилися в замку Грендж вони володіли баронством Фертуллах, що в графстві Західний Міт. Там їм належало більше 39 000 акрів землі. Крім цього, вони володіли землями в Кастлкнок, що біля Дубліна. Рід Тірелл процвітав і родичався з місцевими ірландськими кланами. Найбільш відомим Тереллом був ірландський ватажок капітан Річард Тірелл, що в 1597 році під час так званої Дев'ятирічної війни в Ірландії розбив чисельний загін англійських солдатів маючи значно менші сили. Це сталося в графстві Західний Міт у місцині, що отримала назву Тіреллспасс. Де Бермінгеми були аристократичною родиною норманських феодалів, що перебралися в Ірландію 1170 року. Спочатку вони захопили землі в графстві Голлуей, але потім переселилися на схід Ірландії, де англійська влада була міцнішою. Томас де Бермінгем — останній барон Ахерні та останній граф Лаут помер без спадкоємця чоловічої статі в 1799 році і з ним рід і титули згасли. У XV—XVI століттях замок використовувався як оборонна споруда, потім як житло і резиденція феодала. На стінах замку зберігся герб родини Тірелл з написом «Veritas Via Vitae» — «Я дорога, істина і життя». На сьогодні подальша доля замку не визначена.

Inch Castle

Inch Castle is a ruined castle located on the southern tip of Inch Island in County Donegal in Ulster, the northern province in Ireland. The castle was constructed around 1430 by the Gaelic Irish lord Neachtain O'Donnell for his father-in-law, Cahir O'Doherty. The Ó Dochartaigh (O'Doherty) clan were the dominant family on the nearby peninsula of Inishowen and had close links with the O'Donnells. It came to form part of the defensive network of O'Doherty fortifications designed to protect them from rival clans and to overawe those who accepted their overlordship. Burt Castle is located just across Lough Swilly on the mainland, and this has sometimes led to the two being confused in historical accounts. It should also not be confused with Inch Fort, a much later development on the northern tip of the island which is now also in ruins. References Bibliography Doherty, Richard.

Keeragh Islands

The Keeragh Islands (Irish: Oileáin na gCaorach) are a pair of small islets located approximately 1.5 km (1 mile) off the coast of Bannow in south County Wexford, Ireland (GPS: Latitude: 52.1983, Longitude: -6.73778). They are a designated Special Protection Area due to their importance as a breeding ground for great cormorants. The islets are surrounded by a treacherous rocky reef – the ruin on the larger island was built around 1800 for survivors of shipwrecks, but is now very dilapidated. Fethard lifeboat disaster On 20 February 1914 the Mexico, a Norwegian barque, ran aground in stormy seas on the reef near the Keeraghs. The Fethard lifeboat was launched, but both vessels were smashed to pieces by mighty waves. Nine of the fourteen lifeboat crew were swept to their deaths; the remaining five joined the eight surviving Norwegian sailors on the exposed reef, where they remained miserably clinging to rocks while the storm continued unabated. Several attempts to rescue them were foiled before two brave men, Bill Duggan and Jim Wickham of the Rosslare Fort lifeboat, took a dinghy and ferried the survivors two at a time from their ice cold rocks. The operation needed 6 trips in stormy seas to bring all to safety, but on the second of these, the dinghy was holed. For the remaining trips the sea was kept out by a loaf of bread wrapped in oilskins, plugged into the opening. References

Rath Meave

Rath Meave is a henge located near the Hill of Tara in County Meath, Ireland. It is a National Monument. Location Rath Meave is located in the Tara-Skryne Valley, 1.3 kilometres (0.81 mi) south of the Hill of Tara and 3.4 kilometres (2.1 mi) east of Kilmessan. Description The remains of Rath Meave consist of an approximately circular henge, about 700 metres (2,300 ft) long, enclosing an area of about 4 hectares (10 acres). A cut on the north side of Rath Medb's bank, presumably the entrance, is aligned with the oldest site at Tara, the Mound of the Hostages. History Rath Meave dates to the fourth phase of Tara's construction, in the early Bronze Age (c. 2000–1500 BC). This was around the same time as the Mound of the Hostages was used for burials. It takes its name from Medb Lethderg, a Celtic sovereignty goddess who in Irish legend was the wife or lover of nine successive Kings of Tara. Her relationship to the better-known Medb of Cruachan, legendary Queen of Connacht, is unclear; they may be the same character, or one may have inspired the other. The name Medb means "intoxicator" and is cognate with "mead," making clear the connection between the marriage of the king to the sovereignty goddess and the use of alcohol at these ceremonies.

Saints Peter and Paul's Church, Cork

Saints Peter and Paul's Church is a Catholic church located on Carey's Lane in Cork City, Ireland. History Peter and Paul's was built to replace Carey's Lane Chapel, a much smaller structure built in 1786. Under the guidance of Archdeacon John Murphy, a design competition was run in the 1850s and won by E. W. Pugin, son of Augustus Pugin. The foundation stone was laid on 15 August 1859. Though the construction of the church was completed in on 29 June 1864, and the public were granted the opportunity to view the interior of the church at this time, the church was unable to open as the debts associated with its construction had not yet been paid off. Exactly two years after the church first welcomed members of the public to enter, it was dedicated for worship on 29 June 1866. In 1930, an associated Scout Group was formed, the 4th Cork (Ss Peter and Paul's) meeting in Brown Street, then Castle Street and now Gilabbey Park, though no longer directly connected to the parish. Between 1939 and 1962, the roof of the building was renewed, and the baptistry was repaired. In the 1980s the building underwent major renovations. Architecture The church comprises a central nave with gable roof and two aisles. The walls are of red sandstone with limestone dressing. The aisles are at either side of the nave, which is covered with a gable roof. The roof is supported by open timber work. The beams sit on corbels which are carved with images of the choir of angels. The grand altar is carved from 36 tons of Carrara marble. The pavements surrounding the altar, and the steps, are all of white Italian vein marble. The apse is decorated with blue and gold ceiling panels. The flooring of the church is in white and black marble. The pulpit and confessionals were carved from Russian oak by craftsmen from Leuven and Cork. References Notes Sources External links Official site

Tellarought Castle

Tellarought Castle (irisch Caisleán Thulaigh Reacht, auch Talleraght Castle) ist die Ruine eines Tower House etwa 10,8 km südöstlich von New Ross im irischen County Wexford. Die Ruine steht an der St. Brigid’s Terrace auf einem Feld neben dem Friedhof der katholischen Kirche St. Brigid. Das Tower House stammt möglicherweise aus der normannischen Zeit. In der Nähe der Burgruine liegt eine heilige Quelle, St. Brigid’s Well, der die Einwohner des Gebietes Heilkräfte zuschreiben. Unter der Zufahrtsstraße neben der Burgruine fließt ein kleiner Bach. Das Tower House gehörte wohl einst William Devoreux of Talleraght, von dem bekannt ist, dass er 1597 in den Elizabethian Fiants begnadigt wurde. Einzelnachweise
Tellarought Castle

Tellarought Castle is a fortified tower house located approximately 11 km (7 mi) south-east of New Ross, County Wexford, Ireland. Location The ruin, with four walls still standing but partly overgrown, lies immediately adjacent to the road known as St Brigid's Terrace, off the R734 road, which runs from near New Ross to Tintern Abbey and Fethard. It is in a field just west of the graveyard of St. Brigid's Roman Catholic church, which serves Terrarath (an alternate form of the locale's name) within Cushinstown Parish. Building and history The building is a ruined tower house, a lightly fortified dwelling, dating to the Anglo-Norman period. It was held by the Sutton family in 1307, and may have been the property of one William Devoreux of Talleraght who is mentioned as being the recipient of a pardon in 1597 in the Elizabethan Fiants. By 1641 it appears to have been held by a Matthew Forde, though it may have been in disrepair by the Civil Survey of the mid-1650s. As of 1837, the castle was held by a Mr Lambert, and locally held to be of Norman origin. The tower is located on private agricultural land close to St Brigid's Well, which was believed by some local people to have special healing properties. A small stream also rises on the site and passes the tower house flowing south-east, passing under the road. In 2019, funding was approved by the Irish National Monuments Service and Wexford County Council to undertake maintenance work on the tower in order to prevent it collapsing into the adjacent road. Name Talleraght was an alternative anglicisation of Tellarought's original Irish language name, Tulaigh Reacht. References
