Place & story
Shrubs and trees in a parish account
Samuel Lewis described Cadogan, Dennis O’Callaghan’s residence in Templebodan parish, as standing in carefully arranged grounds. He singled out rhododendrons planted in clusters, a large arbor vitae in the lower ground and sizeable laurels. At Dunlarick, J. Barry’s residence, he recorded extensive plantations on ground he said had previously been waste land. These descriptions concern the gardens and planting he reported in 1837; they do not identify the age or survival of individual trees today. [2]
