La maggior parte delle persone visita solo il Castello di Cahir, ma c’è tutto un altro lato da esplorare. Sono stato molto interessato all’influenza quacchera sulla zona e ho deciso che era ora di dare un’occhiata al cimitero di Garranalive oggi. È a soli pochi minuti dalla città ed è davvero magico!
Continua su Tipperary Heritage Way lungo il Suir fino a un antico bosco di tassi nelle vicinanze. Anche lo Swiss Cottage (contenuto all’interno) potrebbe essere stato originariamente un insediamento quacchero.

The first Quakers to arrive were the Fennells in 1659: [https://tipperarystudies.ie/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/The-Fennells-of-Cahir.pdf](https://tipperarystudies.ie/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/The-Fennells-of-Cahir.pdf)
I believe that the third picture is of William Fennell:
*The last thing I’ll say about angling in Cahir, as I mentioned before, we’re very famous for our Quakers in this town. We had a guy called William Joshua Fennell from a beautiful house called Ballybrado, just down the river. And he was passionate about angling and preservation of the fisheries, so much so that he campaigned and campaigned and he got the legislation for fisheries preservation changed in Ireland and Britain. So much so as well that there’s an Act of Parliament in England, in the Statute books called Fennell’s Act. So there’s a long, long history of angling in this town.*

Wow, what a beautiful resting place 🙂
What a beautiful burial ground 😍
The bluebells are gorgeous, always remind me of spring at home. Thanks for sharing these.
The quakers had an influence in Ireland. They set up at least 4 secondary schools. I attended one. The IFI in Temple Bar is a firmer Quaker meeting house. They were never numerous, but had an effect, for the good I suggest.
I did a doubletake when scrolling and thought there had been an earthquake in Cahir!
