Accommodation clogheen

Clogheen has an attractive complex of sandstone, brick-trimmed buildings: the convent of the Sisters of Mercy, and St. Teresa's. Go left through this pleasant village. The Catholic church has inside the gate an octagonal stone font with two sections. The Celtic cross was erected in the grounds in 1870 in memory of Fr. Nicholas Sheehy, one of the five people hanged in Clonmel in 1776 on perjured evidence for an alleged murder. The shaft, in the mode of the early Christian high crosses, bears a wide range of religious cum nationalist themes including the Good Samaritan, and Daniel O' Connell with the Catholic Emancipation Act. St. Patrick is shown baptising King Aengus at Cashel and accidentally piercing his foot with the crozier - the King never flinched, presuming it was part of the ceremony.
