  2. Kilamery Old Church

    Share Share Post
    Many, many years ago there was a church in Kilamery called "St. Mary's Church". There was also four hundred monks there too at one time. The dead are still buried in the graveyard of Kilamery and the ruins of the church can be seen yet. Cromwell knocked this church when he was on his way from Clonmel to Kilkenny.
