- (ar lean ón leathanach roimhe)of the eighteen century. It was all sheep the people kept, for the wool was valuable, and England required it for her staple manufacture. But the peasants determine that England would not get it. They knew that the French needed at, and that the French troops on the fall of Limerick took to [?] France all the fleeces which they could find, for the peasants at that time had killed large numbers of sheep. In its combed state the grower received one shilling per lb. for it. But in France it fetched from four and six pence to six shillings per lb.
There was very little tillage in those days and the little that was consisted of wheat and potatoes. Whenever the latter ailed famine and pestilence were the inevitable result, and the poorer classes where in many intances compelled to eat weeds.
A portion of the wool was spun and woven in the cabins and farm-houses for home-wear. Knockaney at that time, was a collection of cabins raised on the ruins of a town that was prosperous until the Geraldine disaster of 1384 when he Earl of Desmond's estates were confiscated. The farmers wife was able to pay the rent by the use of her spinning wheel.
There was no Catholic Church in Knockaney from the time when the penal laws were stringently put into force until they were relaxed during the Volunteer period of 1392, when thatched church was erected. That served as a place of Catholic worship until the present church was built in 1894.(leanann ar an chéad leathanach eile)
