    Seems to have lost a bit of height since Mr French's day. Droneview - youtu.be/BjhUwk1_fNo (from about 3:58)

    Mr French was up something tall; but what? Streetview - goo.gl/maps/nwyGMGPkRfRzzTuG6

    Was he up the church tower (which seems to have disappeared)? catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000322348 (reverse view) Edit - there are workman's ladders up to the weathervane, which maybe is how Mr French gained access.

    The church was demolished in the 1950s. Interesting story here - www.patrickcomerford.com/2017/02/finding-former-parish-ch... " ... Killehenny Church was built as the parish church in Ballybunion on a site donated by HB Harene, close to the cliffs, and was consecrated in 1858. In 1883, the parish was united with Rattoo, and the first rector of the new union was the Revd Cecil Richard Hoggins, a former naval chaplain. Hoggins was succeeded by the Revd Charles Edward Fry. Later, it was recalled, ‘the rector suffered terribly from shyness. His manner was painfully nervous.’ In 1922, the parish was joined with Listowel. By then, Killehenny Church and its clocktower had become familiar landmarks in Ballybunion. But for almost a century, the church was battered by the weather and the elements. A local historian, Russell McMorran of Tralee, mused that it must have been an exciting experience going to church there on a stormy, winter’s day. After almost 100 years, the decision was taken in 1957 to close the church and to demolish it. ..."

    O Mac Good morning.

    It would appear to be a place east of Fenit in Kerry called Churchhill. Nothing to do with Winston. The cross still exists in the village. maps.app.goo.gl/kUvXD1ourFBXh97J9

    Mike Grimes Thanks Mike, It has come down in its stature since 1943!
  • O Mac said:
    It's now baseless.

    I haven't found anything about it online - nothing at the NIAH or DIA, I don't even see a close-up photo where the inscription can be read.

    Mr French / Lawrence visited earlier when the ruins were covered in vegetation, and the yew? tree was much smaller - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000324386
  • beachcomber australia said:
    Hmmm - in stereo pairs times there was less vegetation - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000563666
  • beachcomber australia said:
    The 'space rocket' is a memorial to Dr. Myles H. Mahony - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000576511 Edit - "A short distance south east from the church is an obelisk monument to a much-loved Killarney doctor, Myles Ó Mahony, in appreciation of his services to the victims of the Famine in the 1840s. The inscription on the monument reads "Erected by the clergy, gentry, traders and peasantry of Killarney to testify their sorrowing bereavement at the early demise of the upright man and self-sacrificing friend, the zealous and charitable physician" More - members.iinet.net.au/~patrick6/NUNSTOWN1_.htm
