Clonakilty

An hour-long professional video featuring three topics of local interest has been produced by Dúchas Clonakilty Heritage and is now available to view on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLTD_NunuGI" target="_blank">YouTube</a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;
The first section deals with the history of Lisselane Estate and in particular two of its owners – the infamous landlord William Bence Jones and from more modern times, C. O. Stanley.&nbsp;
The second section concentrates on Kilgarriffe old cemetery and some of the many important individuals and families interred there over the last three hundred years or so.&nbsp;
The final section of the video highlights Ring Village and the nearby Ballintemple Graveyard, detailing the importance of Ring as a port and the 800-year history of the cemetery wherein lay the remains of local 1798 leader Tadhg an Asna among other notable names.&nbsp;
The video is sure to be of great interest to Clonakilty people near and far as well as historians from wider afield.&nbsp;
The professional production took a number of weeks to complete and the work was undertaken by a small sub-group of Dúchas Clonakilty Heritage supported by a grant from Cork County Council under the ‘County Cork Heritage Grant Scheme 2021’ and the Heritage Council as well as support from the Bank of Ireland.&nbsp;
There are some great photos throughout of all three locations including some spectacular drone footage and the hour-long film was produced by Donal O’ Driscoll of “Pitchside Media”.&nbsp;
The video was launched by Clonakilty Community Mayor Anthony McDermott and is available to view on the <a href="http://duchasclonakiltyheritage.com/" target="_blank">Dúchas Clonakilty Heritage website</a> and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/DuchasClon" target="_blank">Facebook page.</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;
