Tullylish Historical Society June 17 |


On Monday 12th June, our Historical Society hosted the Dromore Historical Society and we met at the Old Tower in Tullylish where Plunkett gave a brief history on the linen industry and importance of Tullylish in Christian heritage. The Rev. W. B. Yeats was also discussed before we moved to Laurencetown cemetery.




Plunkett brought us to the grave of Bishop Kelly who was instrumental in the building of Newry Cathedral.

Before we headed to the Den for a lovely supper, Paddy Barry entrained us with a couple of songs at his grandmother, Margaret Barry's grave. You can listen to Paddy on https://www.facebook.com/tullylish4/






Maura Lavery and Frank O'Dowd enjoyed the old photos
