Not every stop on our Irish journey was a visit to an ancestral townland. One night was spent in the town of Kilkenny. We visited
St. Mary's Medevial Mile Museum, with it's centuries old tombstones and burial vaults. It was a wonderful example of melding new renovation with old architecture. One of the highlights is the original corporation book for the town.
We walked through the grounds of
Kilkenny Castle and spent a little time checking out the local artists wares. Across the River Nore we had dinner in
Matt the Millers Bar and Restaurant, where we enjoyed the local music.
A visit to
Nicholas Mosse Pottery in Bennettsbridge, and the subsequent lightening of our pockets, was also part of the itinerary.
