BALLYMONEY, see under Enniskeane
DUNMANWAY - Lewis' Topographical Dictionary 1837 - DUNMANWAY, a market and post-town, in the parish of FAN LOBBUS, Western Division of the barony of EAST CARBERY, county of CORK, and province of MUNSTER, 29 miles (S.W. by W) from Cork, and 155 ½ (S.W) from Dublin, on the road from Cork to Bantry; containing 2738 inhabitants. This place, according to most authorities, derived its name, signifying “the castle of the yellow river;' or “the castle on the little plain,” from an ancient castle belonging to the McCarthys. The town is indebted for its origin to Sir Richard Cox, Lord Chancellor of Ireland in the reign of Wm. III., who obtained from that monarch the grant of a market and fairs, and erected a stately mansion for his own residence. Sir Richard also built the long bridge over the river Bandon, consisting of six arches, exclu sively of four under the causeway, and introduced the linen manufac ture, for which, under his auspices, this place became one of the principal marts, and the town, in which a colony from England had settled, one of the most flourishing in the south of Ireland. It occupies a level tract entirely surrounded on the north, west, and south by lofty hills, rocks, and mountains; and is open to the east, in which direction the river, after entering the vale to which it gives name, pur sues its course between two lofty ridges diversified with tillage lands, woods, and lawns, intersected by several picturesque glens, and embell ished with numerous elegant seats. It consists of one long street extending about half a mile to the west of the bridge, and in 1831 contained 419 houses, which, though indifferently built, are distinguished by an appearance of cleanliness and comfort: the post-office is subordinate to that of Bandon. Several new roads leading to the town have recently been opened, among which is a very fine and level line from Cork to Bantry. A reading-room was established in 1832, but not being generally supported it has declined. The manufacture of linen continued to flourish for some years, but at present there are very few looms at work. A porter and ale brewery, established in 1831, produces 2600 barrels annually; there are also two tanyards and two boulting mills, the latter capable of grinding annually 15,000 bags of flour and there are two or three smaller mills in the vicinity. Since 1810 a considerable trade in corn has been carried on. The market is on Tuesday; and fairs, chiefly for cattle, are held on May 4th, the first Tuesday in July (O. S.), Sept. 17th, and Nov. 26th. At the intersection of the principal street is a large building used as a market-house. Here is a constabulary police station; a manorial court for the recovery of debts not exceeding £2 is held every third Saturday, and petty sessions every second Monday. There is a small bridewell in the town for the temporary confinement of misdemeanants. The church of Fanlobbus is a handsome edifice, erected in 1821, at an expense of 1 100, by aid of a loan from the late Board of First Fruits; and a square tower has recently been added to it. There is a R. C. chapel in progress of erection, at an estimated expense of 2500; also a place of worship for Wesleyan Methodists. Near the R. C. chapel is a school, aided by the priest; and it is intended to establish a savings' bank and a branch of the Labourers' Friend Society: here is a dispensary. Of the stately mansion of Lord Chancellor Cox nothing remains but a part of the kitchen, now a weaver's cabin, with a fragment of the garden wall. Near the R. C. chapel is a chalybeate spring which is efficacious in cutaneous diseases; and not far distant is a small but very beautiful lake, in which Sir Richard Cox was drowned. There are several picturesque waterfalls in the midst of some very romantic scenery, and in the mountains are the ruins of Toher castle.
FANLOBBUS - Lewis' Topographical Dictionary 1837 - FANLOBBUS, a parish, in the Western Division of the barony of EAST CARBERY, county of CORK, and province of MUNSTER, on the river Bandon, and on the road from Cork to Bantry; containing, with the post-town of Dunmanway, (which is described under its own head), 11,405 inhabitants. It comprises 32,743 statute acres as applotted under the tithe act, and valued at £12,494 per annum; about 370 acres are woodland, 16,100 good arable and pasture, and the remainder mountain and bog, of which a great part is reclaimable. Much of the land was brought into cultivation for flax during the prosperity of the linen manufacture, for which the town of Dun manway was one of the principal marts in this part of the country; but at present wheat is the principal produce and is raised in large quantities for the supply of the boulting-mills in the neighbourhood. The system of agriculture is still capable of improvement; the old heavy wooden plough is in general use. There is a large proportion of bog, and at Dareens are some remains of an extensive forest of oak. At Mohany are some small slate quarries, and at Corrigscullighy is found calcareous schist. The principal seats are the Manor House, a handsome building, erected by the late H. Cox, Esq., and now the residence of his family; Manch House, the seat of D. Conner, Esq., an elegant villa four miles from the town, situated on a terrace, and surrounded with a highly cultivated demesne; Woodbrook, of H. Gillman, Esq.; Kilronan, of N. B. Jagoe, Esq.; and Laurel Mount, of R. Townsend, Esq. There are fairs at Dunmanway, and a fair is annually held at Ballybuie on the 5th of August. The living is a vicarage, in the diocese of Cork, and in the patronage of the Bishop; the rectory is partly appropriate to the vicars choral and partly constitutes the corps of the prebend of Dromdaleague in the cathedral of St. Finbarr, Cork. The tithes amount to £923. 1. 4 which is equally divided between the appropriators and the vicar. There is no glebe house; the glebe comprises 23 acres. The church, situated in the town of Dunmanway, was rebuilt in 1821, by aid of a loan of £1200 from the late Board of First Fruits, and has recently been repaired by a grant of £210 from the Ecclesiastical Commissioners. In the old burial-ground, about a mile and a half from the town, are some remains of the former church, consisting only of a circular-headed window. In the R. C. divisions the parish is united to part of Ballymoney, forming the union of Dunmanway, in which are three chapels, two being in this parish, one at Dunmanway, and the other at Togher. There is a place of worship at Dunmanway for Wesleyan Methodists. About 500 children are taught in eight public schools, of which one is aided by the vicar, one supported by D. Connor, Esq., one by W. L. Shuldham, Esq., and two under the National Board; and there are 13 private schools, in which are about 480 children, and two Sunday schools. About three miles to the north of the town is Togher Castle, a lofty tower, said to have been built by Randal McCarty, who also built the castle of Ballinacorrigy at the same distance to the south east, in the adjoining parish of Ballymoney. In Owen Mountain, in tj parish, the rivers Bandon, Ilen, and Moyalla, have their sources.

These renewals are given at a moderate rent, a rent that affords every inducement to the tenant to work with eneargy animated by hope - that will allow the tenant to live, and ensure to the owner of the soil a certainty of the payment of the tenant's rent.

(CE 28/1/1846) - DUNMANWAY AMATEUR BAND - TO THE EDITOR OF THE CORK EXAMINER – SIR, Perhaps you will allow me through your Journal to contradict some statements in ‘Non Repealer’s’ letter, published in the Examiner of this day, relative to the Amateur Band of this town. The writer of that letter have also grossly misrepresented the entire proceedings of the ‘Soiree’ therein alluded to.
It would appear to a reader of that letter, that the Members of the Band went to the Soiree on free tickets. The Leader was also presented to the public as soliciting subscriptions from the persons present, to purchase clothing for his musical colleagues. In reply to the first of these misrepresentations, I need only say, that though having been very politely offered tickets gratis by the Committee, - they unanimously refused to accept them unless on the same terms as the other persons who attended. The second statement is equally groundless; and in this I ..eality would need not reply, as it is too well known that unless for the purchase of instruments no other subscription is applied for, - no - not even for music or instruction, as the Leader very kindly gives both gratis, beside that he with the other members of the band, have subscribed as liberally for the purchase of the instruments as many of the other subscribers - as to all the ‘hems' and ‘haws' attributed to him, I can tell your readers, that he can express himself in public or in private, infinitely better than his traducers.
We subjected ourselves to their shower of calumny, by having found it our duty to discard from our musical society, two members for non-compliance with its rules, and for other misconducts. The after dealing of these ex-members gave us no cause to repent having expelled them. They refused to surrender the instruments for the use of the band although fully aware they were purchased by subscription for that purpose.
But Sir, these worthies could not of themselves produce such an epistle as that alluded to - they applied to a third person, (one who in this town is rather celebrated for his ‘Skellig List' genius), who was the only one of the Trio who attended at the Soiree - each supplied his part. One provided the scandal, another made himself useful as an amanuensis - the third person (above noticed) supplied the burlesque speeches, which were equalled by the appropriate airs selected by him for the toasts - the names of which he learned from his namesake - an itinerant catgut scraper, from whom he learned to scratch a few tunes on a violin, to the great annoyance of the neighbourhood in which he resides.
For our credit as musicians, suffice it to say, that the gentleman who presided over the meeting (General Shuldham) who is far above duplicity or reporting to flattery, after complimenting the members of the band for the pleasure which they afforded the meeting that evening - and anxious for the unity of the members of the association - he said - ‘He hoped that the harmony of the band would be emblematic of the harmony that would exist between the members of the Dunmanway Conservative Association.'
As an antidote to the poison circulated by these discarded members of our calumniated society, I hope you will insert this letter, I am, Sir, your obedient servant, WILLIAM WAGNER, Member of the Dunmanway Amateur Band, Dunmanway, Jan. 21, 1826
(CE 29/5/1846) - Death Notice - On the 26th inst., at Dunmanway, Mr. Mathew Connolly, aged 90 years.
