KNOCKANURE Churchyard; Inside those walls is the grave of famous local ballad composer and wit Paddy Drury (died 1945)
Quoted:
"Knockanure church may the heavens bless you,
That sweet place of rest where the dead do resort,
If you stand by its corner on a bright summer’s morning you will see ships sailing from many a port,
You will see Co. Clare and the hills back in Kerry,
The tide at Saleen as it rises and falls.
If you travelled the nation for a burying plantation,
Still Knockanure church in the pride of them all.
The church is just 400 feet above sea level.
