    created an Archiepiscopal borough like Cashel. The Church reserved the fee and maorial rights (to the) at this time.
    A succession of Charters was subsequently granted to the town. In 1553 an important Charter was granted on the petition of the people of Fethard. This ordained that the borough should consist of a sovereign, provost and burgesses etc, and that it should have all th privileges and liberties of towns such as Kilkenny. Eleven marks were to be sent to the Crown.

    A beautiful copy of one of the Charters is to be seen in the Minute Book of Fethard kept by Mr. John Skehan, Burke Street.
    In December 1607 Sir John Everard obtained a charter for large possessions in Fethard and the surrounding area: and in the Charter given to Fethard in 1608 there is a clause "Saving to Sir J. Everard and his heirs the Estate previously

    In the Register of the Hospital of St. John Dublin, we find that "William de Breusa" gives to the Hospital all (Eccleci) Ecclesiastical benefits in Fethard and Molwathan."
    This is dated "1208-1210). It contains another item dated 1200 to the effect that the Bishop of Waterford gives to the Hospital the tirhes and offerings of the two towns of Fethard and Molwathan "by rendering yearly to the Church of Saint Menulog one pound of incense at Easter."
    Saint Menulog was a local Fethard Saint. It isn't known what is the modern name of Mowlathn.

    The Convent and Monastery of Fethard have come in for a fair share of historical research, and much that is of interest and importance about them is happily ours today. Owning to the absence of documents to prove the foundation of the Order in Fethard, it is impossible to fix the precise date, or even to conjecture in what particular century it took place. It must have been considerably anterior to the early part of the 14th century in which the present ancient Church and Monastery

    In olden times when there were no roads, people always had a right of way through their neighbour's land. One can still be seen, starting in Clarebeg, running through Keane's and Purcell's land and joining the Cloneen road for Fethard. All the people from Cloran and Walshbog used this path as a short cut to Fethard Mass.

    In the locality of Fethard there are many forts, but the two I have seen and taken most notice of are Rathvin and Brookhill.
    Rathvin is about one mile from Fethard. It is surrounded by a hedge of bushes and is circular in shape. It is said to have been build by the Thuite de Dannann when the Milesians got possession of Ireland. They said they would not leave this country but would stay in the green hills.
    Brookhill is situated two miles from Fethard. It is circular in shape and around the outside is a hedge of furze bushes. There are many little passages leading to a grassy hollow in the centre. Many tiny footprints are to be seen

    Leathanach 392

    Fethard can claim the honour of having been the birthplace of many illustrious men. To the church it has supplied many zealous and highly learned ecclesiastics.
    The Archdiocese of Cashel treasures the name of Dr Everand, who held the crozier of Cormac for all too brief a period. Dr Everard was a lineal descendant of Sir John Everand, Knight, who possessed the town of Fethard "forever" as the records attest, and also several castles, towns and lands, in the immediate neighbourhood.
    His parents lived in the town house of the Everards in the Market Square and here, the future Archbishop of Cashel was born, 1752. His early education having been completed in the Grammar School of Fethard, he was sent by his parents to the University of Salamanca, to study for the priesthood. He won the highest

    Piseogs about cows and milk.
    One time there was a man called Tenent and he lived in Mobarne, Fethard. He had a farm in Ballinard, two miles east of Fethard, and a man named Captain Lindsey was working the farm and he had a lot of cows, and used to make his own butter. This day the servants employed for making the butter were churning, and a woman came inside the gate where they were churning and went out again. They kept churning away for about three hours but there was no sign of the butter coming. They told Captain Lindsey that there was no sign of the butter coming. He was a terrible strong man and he came out and began to twist the churn, but still there was no sign of the butter coming.
    The servants thought of the woman that was after coming in, and they said she must have worked piseogs. There was a man near the village called Thomas Keating, Ballinard, Fethard, who 'twas said

    Story - Duel.
    Years ago a family named Gahan lived in Coolquill Castle and they were noted duelists. They had over 300 men working a coal and culm mine. They used to supply all the soldiers' barracks of the County Tipp - Cahir, Templemore Fethard and Clonmel. A new regiment came to Fethard one time and seeing Gahan's name on books for supplying coal wrote a letter to Collier Gahan Coolquill. When Mr. Gahan got the letter he ordered his horse to be got ready. He rode into the Barracks in Fethard and asked for the officer. When the officer appearedhe had the letter on the point of his sword. He asked the officer if it was he wrote the letter and he said it was.

  14. The Local Fairs

    No local fairs held now-a-days except in the towns of Clonmel, Cahir and Fethard. These fairs are held in the streets. Toll is still paid in Fethard at the November and April fairs, in Cahir at the September and July fairs. Toll is paid to the Town Commissioners, according to the age of the animal from 2d to 6d a head on cattle sold. The owner has to strike a board going out in lieu of an oath that he sold cattle.
    Luck money is still given, 1/- to every £10. Long ago, but more is given now. No hard and fast rule about it. Agreement to a bargain shown by striking hands. When animals are sold marked by putting mud on their flanks or by clipping hair on their flanks. Long ago the halter was given to the buyer with the animal, but no halters ow in use. Old fairs of Clonmel held in November and May. There used to be a special "Bull Fair" held outside Fethard in June, at Killnockin.
    The old local fair used to be held in a field at Darcy's Cross about a mile outside the village. The field was owned by a family named Darcy and toll had to be paid for admission to the field. The P.P. of Clerihan at the time got the fair transferred to the village. This led to a dispute between the Parish Priest and the Darcys and bad work followed. This led to the fair of Clerihan being abandoned.
    A fair used to be held at Market Hill, Fethard in olden times called "Cnoc a Mhairgidh."

    Fed by crystal-sparkling rills
    Whettign wheels of busy mills
    My native Fethard.

    Heather headed Slievenamon
    Snatches first sweet streaks of dawn,
    And smiling mirrors all upon
    Old misty Fethard

    The weird-wild woods of grand old Grove
    The haunts that gods and angels love,
    Four sentinels serene above
    To guard old Fethard.

    Like a velvet verdant vein,
    Stretches old Kiltinan's plain;
    Maze of wood and leafy lane
    Around old Fethard

    The furze-clad hills of eventime
    Echo sweet soft notes sublime
    Not grander chime in any clime
    Than the bells of Fethard.

    I am longing to be back among
    Those grand old scenes where Native's tongue
    Tells every heart that life is young
    In ancient Fethard.

    On the third Tuesday of wach month the fair is held in the town of Fethard. A few years ago the April fair was held on the twentieth of that month, and the November fair, on the twentieth of November, these were called "old fairs". After the sales on those days when the animals were being driven to the station, either the seller or the buyer should pay fourpence, or sixpence on the beast leaving the town. On each outlet, there were men appointed to collect these "tolls". A few fairs used be held in Kilnochin, a townland outside Fethard, in fact there is a tune called, The Fair of Kilnochin. In several cases cattle buyers visit farmer's houses and buy the cattle on the
