Abbeyfeale Parish Church

On my recent visit to Abbeyfeale, I took the opportunity to visit the church and to say a prayer. The church has some lovely mosaics but bot too many stained glass windows. You can tell a lot about the wealth of a parish but the amount of artwork in their place of worship.

This lovely grotto stands in the church grounds.

There are two sets of Stations of the Cross, one more traditional then the other but both beautiful.

The Dandy Lodge

This house, Vincent Carmody tells me, was always called The Dandy Lodge. It was the home of the Hannon family. Danaher's house was at the other entrance to Lord Listowel's estate in Cahirdown.
