Fethard - Folk Art 19th C

The art consists of two plaques, one placed on top of the other. The upper plaque contains the name ” P. RUSSEL” set within a frame. It is carved into a limestone. This smaller plaque sits on top of a square limestone block with the words “Built Oct 7, 1832”. On the left is the head and shoulders of a bishop wearing mitre and holding a hooked crozier. On the right of the inscription is the figure of a man set in a frame. In the coming months we will be researching and investigating the ownership of the house and attempting to tease out the meaning of the carvings.We will also be telling you about the results of the photogrammetry survey carried out in 2016 thanks to funding from Rosin O’Grady Tipperary Heritage Office [More Details](https://irishfolkartproject.wordpress.com/2017/03/01/folk-art-in-the-town-of-fethard/
