Place & story
Division and local trading dates
Samuel Lewis recorded that an order in council dated 2 June 1834 divided Saint Mullin’s barony into North and South, also called Upper and Lower. His separate parish account lists fairs at Saint Mullin’s on 17 June and 25 July for the sale of general farming stock. Together these entries identify the new administrative division and two recurring trading dates at the riverside settlement within Lower Saint Mullin’s. [2] [3]
