    “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"."

    Looking through the survey photos on the NBHS (NIAH) site it appears Mr Boru is not there anymore.
    NLI needs a Missing Statue tag.

    O Mac As you wish!

    “AI Overview The famous wooden carving at Celbridge Abbey in County Kildare, historically localized as the "Brian Boru Statue", is a rustic, weather-worn sculpture. It stands within the tranquil, historic grounds along the River Liffey that were famously associated with Jonathan Swift.
    Historically, this piece is an example of local folklore rather than an authentic depiction of the High King.
    It is one of a few scattered, traditional representations of Brian Boru found around Ireland”

    Still no news of his current whereabouts
  • Suck Diesel said:
    Has the statue succumbed to decay, being wooden, and no longer exists?

    National Library of Ireland on The Commons There seems to be something, maybe foundations, still there via the Google satellite. Field Trip required, with a picnic and appropriate refreshment.
