Place & story
A window brought back into view
The Clonmel Union of Parishes newsletter published on 31 March 2017 reported work at Old Saint Mary’s Church in Clonmel. Sheets concealing the east window had been removed, coving around its top taken away and the surrounding wall repainted. The writer thanked Bernard for overseeing the work and making the drapery, and George for painting. It is a contemporary account of that intervention, rather than a date for the window’s original creation. [2]
Planting beside the church
The same newsletter records flower beds and the beginnings of an insect hotel at Old Saint Mary’s as part of a biodiversity project. These were reported activities in 2017. The account does not establish the later outcome of the scheme or its present condition. [2]
