    If that Potato Blight warning poster is fresh, then we're in summer months. Just need Niall McAuley to establish the year - easy peasy! :)

    It's very run-down, isn't it? If it wasn't for all the horses and the fact that it's Robert French, I'd have thought it was the '50s.

    A half-assed Google search says: The Bell of Fenagh was probably made between 1050 and 1150. The Bell passed down through the centuries by the O’Rodachain’s Coarbs of St. Caillin and then on to the parish priests of Fenagh.It is presently in St Mell’s cathedral Longford.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    St. Mel's was destroyed by a big fire in 2009 - I don't know if the bell is still there.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    At the time of the photo, I think the bell was at Foxfield parish church: Streetview.

    "How it lost its tongue" ... www.duchas.ie/en/cbes/4649698/4648296/4659014?ChapterID=4... ... St Caillin collected his annual dues for the upkeep of the Monastery, in this bell. The full of it was sufficient for the year. His greedy servant to make it hold more had the tongue pulled out of the bell, but it held no more. St Caillin cursed him and said one of his name would never prosper in the parish of Fenagh. ...
