- I have no churn at home, but I often saw one at my grandmothers and granduncle's Johnny Coffey, Lisheenbawn, Castleisland, Co. Kerry
It is about 3 feet in height, of a round shape about 2 feet wide at the top and 25 feet wide at the bottom. It is about seven years old.
There are two classes of churns a barrel and a churn. In working the churn you should have a churn staff. There is a cover on the churn and a hole in the middle of the cover, and there is a timber buttercup put to keep the cream from splashing out.
