    The Armstrong Papers P6 Part I Armstrong of Moyaliffe Castle, County Tipperary University of Limerick Library and Information Services University of Limerick Special Collections The Armstrong Papers Reference Code: IE 2135 P6 Title: The Armstrong Papers Dates of Creation: 1662-1999 Level of Description: Sub-Fonds Extent and Medium: 133 boxes, 2 outsize items (2554 files) CONTEXT Name of Creator(s): The Armstrong family of Moyaliffe Castle, county Tipperary, and the related families of Maude of Lenaghan, county Fermanagh; Everard of Ratcliffe Hall, Leicestershire; Kemmis of Ballinacor, county Wicklow; Russell of Broadmead Manor, Kent; and others. Biographical History: The Armstrongs were a Scottish border clan, prominent in the service of both Scottish and English kings. Numerous and feared, the clan is said to have derived its name from a warrior who during the Battle of the Standard in 1138 lifted a fallen king onto his own horse with one arm after the king’s horse had been killed under him. In the turbulent years of the seventeenth century, many Armstrongs headed to Ireland to fight for the Royalist cause. Among them was Captain William Armstrong (c. 1630- 1695), whose father, Sir Thomas Armstrong, had been a supporter of Charles I throughout the Civil War and the Commonwealth rule, and had twice faced imprisonment in the Tower of London for his support for Charles II. When Charles II was restored to power, he favoured Captain William Armstrong with a lease of Farneybridge, county Tipperary, in 1660, and a grant of Bohercarron and other lands in county Limerick in 1666. In 1669, William was appointed Commissioner for Payroll Tax, and over the next ten years added to his holdings in the area, including the former lands of Holy Cross Abbey and the lands of Ballycahill.

  • 1 INTRODUCTION in December 2004, Environmental Resources
    1 INTRODUCTION In December 2004, Environmental Resources Management Ireland Limited (“ERM”) in association with ERA-Maptec Ltd was commissioned by North Tipperary County Council to prepare a Landscape Character Assessment of North Tipperary. The objective of the study was to complete a thorough assessment of the character, value and sensitivity of North Tipperary’s landscape in order to provide the basis for policy formulation and informed decision-making regarding landscape management in the County. North Tipperary (shown in Figure 1) contains a variety of landscapes. The extensive upland areas of the County rise dramatically above the fertile limestone plains. These upland zones support a variety of habitats and land uses ranging from blanket bog to coniferous forestry. The geological faults around the Silvermines led to the deposition of metallic deposits that were to be exploited by humans 400 million year later. The low lying pastoral plains provide important communication corridors between the upland zones and the less accessible raised bogs areas in the north and eastern extremities of the county. To the west, Lough Derg and the River Shannon provide further landscape variety within the County and are important recreational, tourism and ecological resources for North Tipperary. As a landlocked county, North Tipperary is bounded by a number of counties with landscape features providing many natural boundaries. For example, the River Shannon and Lough Derg, define the boundary between the counties of Clare, Galway and Offaly. Extensive raised bog defines the eastern boundary with Counties Laois and Kilkenny. The valley between the Silvermines and Slieve Felim mountains offers a further natural boundary with Counties Limerick and South Tipperary.

  • Tipperary News Part 7
    Irish Superstitions. The unfortunate and deluded peasantry of the neighbourhood of Tipperary have been excited not a little within the last week by the humbugging story, got up evidently for a similar purpose to the "Wild Fire" or the "Blessed Turf" of the last year, and which has the effect of collecting thousands together almost at a moments warning, who can be then be led on to any act of desperation their leaders may direct. A man named Keating, from near Newcastle, was taken ill, died, and was buried some short time ago. But a few nights since he appeared to his Father and brother and told them he had only been taken by the fairies, and that if they were resolute, and would bring plenty of whisky, and some of their neighbours, and each have a black hafted knife, he would be passing the crossroad at Glendalough, at 12 O'Clock precisely, on St. John's Eve: that they would first see a little man on a fine gray horse, whom they were to let to pass, as well as any others, until they perceived him: he would be mounted on a black horse, they were to get between him and the rest, cut off the right ear of the horse, then he would be at once out of the fairies power, and be let home again to them. Numbers in this town and neighbourhood either believed it or pretended to believe it, and went off to the meeting, where, we are informed, upwards of 1200 people assembled. As may be supposed, no little man or gray horse appeared, and all returned again, but what passed there, and why they were called thus together, is as of yet a secret.

GILL & SON, 50, UPPEE SACKYILLE STREET. LONDON : WHITTAKER & CO. ; SIMPKIN, MARSHALL & CO. EDINBURGH : JOHN MENZIES & CO. 31. n. OTLL AKD SON, PEINTKES, DvBLI.f^ • o . PREFACE. 1 HAVE condensed into this little volume a consi- derable part of the local etymologies contained in " The Origin and History of Irish Names of Places." 1 have generally selected those names that are best known through the country, and I have thought it better to arrange them in alpha- betical order. The book has been written in the hope that it may prove useful, and perhaps not uninteresting, to those who are anxious for information on the subject, but who have not the opportunity of perusing the larger volume. Soon after the appearance of "The Origin and History of Irish Names of Places," I received from correspondents in various parts of Ireland communications more or less valuable on the topo- graphy, legends, or antiquities of their respective localities. I take this opportunity of soliciting further information from those who are able to give it, and who are anxious to assist in the advancement of Irish literature. IRISH LOCAL NAMES EXPLATKED. THE PROCESS OF ANGLICISING. 1. Systematic Changes. Irish prommciation preserved. —In anglicising Irish names, the leading general rule is, that the present forms are derived from the ancient Irish, as they were spoken, not as they were written. Those who first committed them to writing, aimed at preserving the original pronunciation, by representing it as nearly as they were able in English letters.
