    The Great God of Google says it was the 1831 Carrickshock incident en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrickshock_incident ... " ... Though not named in contemporary sources, since 1907 the names of the three dead have been given as James Treacy (the bayonetted youth) of Kilcurl, Patrick Power Kilcurl, and Thomas Phelan Kilkeasy. ... " Edit - And this ... "The incident has remained important in the local nationalist historical narrative. On 8 March 1920, during the Irish War of Independence, an Irish Republican Army assault on the RIC barracks at Hugginstown began with a muster at the Carrickshock site, chosen not for tactical but for symbolic value. In July 1925, a celtic cross memorial to the three locals killed was erected at the site of the incident. ... "

    [Aside] Interesting article about 'The Lady of the House' - irishmediahistory.com/2015/09/29/lady-of-the-house-1890-1...

    That's the 4th 14th May 1904 edition
    Lady of the House - Saturday 14 May 1904

    We've previously seen the same publication, if not the same edition, used as a prop.

    Edit: It was the 15th April 1905 edition which we've seen before. Uncharacteristic of Pole not to reuse a prop. Perhaps the 4th May 1904 edition had disintegrated my then.

    John Spooner Printed on good quality paper to still be in decent condition, having been in prop use for 5-ish months.

    “Lady Anne returned to Castlecomer to live, and began a major reconstruction of the town, church, and manor house. The new Castlecomer House, completed in 1802, was much larger and grander than the original. The house had 365 windows, one for each day of the year”

    Calendar houses were popular. So we’re there 52 rooms, and maybe 12 chimney stacks, or 12 staircases?

    suckindeesel Quite Adept I think this is our first (knowing) encounter with a calendar house?
  • beachcomber australia said:
    Evidently Adare Manor is also a calendar house ...
    "... The building is a calendar house, featuring 365 windows and 52 chimneys, among some other design characteristics. Along the top of the building an extract of psalm 127:1 is made from carved stone: "Except the Lord build the house, then labour is but lost that built it"."
