PRICHARD WEDDING DAY 3636
These are the Prichard's on their Wedding Day from Crumlin, now for some reason
they where photographed separately so I have put them together in the photograph.
Henry Prichard is on the left and he went home in 1977. On the right is Lena
Prichard (neeMcCartney) who had a most gentle character, had a good word to
say about everyone, Lena went home in 2009.
SAINT
PATRICK'S WELL 3678
Here we are at Saint Patricks well in Clonmel down South is one of the
largest - if not the largest of all holy wells in all of Ireland. It is situated
at the bottom of a long set of winding steps, shaded by a few trees in a small
glen. As you approach it, the waters from the well flow into a large and shallow
pond with an ancient Irish stone cross set upon a small island in the middle.
It is thought that this cross dates to the fifth century. For such a large
holy well and surrounding site, it is amazing just how little is actually
known about this area, but it is thought that Saint Patrick passed through
here and may have used this place to bathe or to baptize. Clonmel means "Honey
Meadow"
On the back of the postcard was the following: To Miss E. McCord, Aldergrove,
Crumlin, Co.Antrim. Dear Ena, We are having a lovely
time
here, will see you on Tuesday Bridget.
The card was posted and stamped: Clonmel 4.45pm, 19th July, 1944.
