  • Doneraile Park the Long St. Leger Connection Seamus Crowley
    IRISH FORESTRY 2015, VOL. 72 Doneraile Park The long St. Leger connection Seamus Crowley The arrival of St. Legers in Ireland When Henry VIII of England decided to suppress the monasteries and break away from the Church of Rome, he gave the job of implementing the process to his “trusty and well beloved servant” Sir Anthony St. Leger of Ulcomb in Kent who was reputed to be “a wise and warie gentleman”. Sir Anthony, in his capacity as a member of the Kent Grand Jury, helped to find a “true bill” against Ann Boleyn, which allowed Henry to have her executed in 1536 – a trusty servant indeed! Having finished the job of suppressing the monasteries in England, Sir Anthony was sent to Ireland to render similar service in 1537. He supervised the dissolution of the monasteries in areas subject to the King’s writ and also succeeded in getting the Irish chieftains to accept Henry as King of Ireland. Before that the English King was described as Lord of Ireland, which gave him much less authority. Later Sir Anthony St. Leger was appointed Lord Lieutenant of Ireland and from which time on the St. Legers had a presence in Ireland. When Sir Anthony St. Leger returned to England, one of his sons, William, who later did not feature in Sir Anthony’s will, was “catered for” in Ireland and took part in both government and army. William’s son, Sir Antony St. Leger’s grandson, Sir Warham St. Leger remained in Ireland until his death in 1600. He died following a single combat engagement with Hugh Maguire of Fermanagh outside the gates of Cork.

Statement by Tom Hales, Knocknacurra, Bandon, Co. Cork. Dated Undated. On National Activities 1907 - 1913. Ballinadee Coy. I.V., 1914 - 1916. - 5 pp. - Typescript F'scap. File S.289. STATEMENT OF TOM HALES, KNOCKACURRA, BANDON, CO. CORK. PERIOD: 1907 to early 1917. PRINCIPAL UNIT: BALLINADEE C0MPAMY, I.V. Ballinadee Company was the first Unit of Irish Volunteers to be organised in West Cork. At all times up to Easter, 1916, it was the leading Company in strength, in arms, in discipline and in organisation. At the same time that its officers were perfecting their own organisation they took the lead in building up and. developing other Volunteer Companies in neighbouring districts, and their example and leader ship were mainly responsible for the formation of many Companies from Ballinhassig to Clonakilty and from Kilbrittan to Belliaeen. To Ballinadee all these Companies looked for guidance and help with the problems of their formative period, as well as for assistance in their training. The men of Ballinadee who gave such an inspiring lead to West Cork were animated by the traditional Fenian spirit and doctrine, which had been handed down to us by my father, Robert Hales, and other older men from 1900 onwards. The spirit of the Land League days lived on in the district and it was revived in 1907 when the fight against the local landlords reached peak point. In that year attempted seizures of cattle by the Sherriff were an every-day occurrence.

I am beginning to feel that, having lived on three continents and seen much, I have seen a lot. Many of you in the Diocese have known me longer than I have known myself! But even those of you who are around longer haven’t seen it all, it would seem. When have we ever seen it all? Never. But we do learn lessons from the past in order to live now. We are truly living in strange and bewildering times. When I say that people have lived through such times before, in our communities locally, nationally, and worldwide, that is not in any way to diminish our own sense of anxiety and vulnerability at this time. Almost certainly by the time this issue of the Diocesan Magazine gets to you (however it does) things will have changed again; they are changing by the hour, yet alone the day.
