    (continued from previous page)
    during which Mallow was the centre of operations, the English Queen Elizabeth forfeited this castle, and enlarged its garrison for the defence of the ferry where troops were frequently delayed for many days. In 1584 the Castle and mansion were granted by the Queen to Sir Thomas Morris and have since been occupied by his descendants.
    During the war of 1642 the Irish forces entered Mallow and attacked the Castle and after fierce fighting, the castle was surrendered.
    Some of the garrison escaped, but the remainder were executed.
    In 1945 the Castle was again retaken by the English, after almost reducing it to ruins.
