The ancient Cathedral of St. Colman has undergone
very extensive renovation and improvement within
the last few years. In 1890, a very beautiful memorial
altar tomb, alabaster, with recumbent figure of Bishop
Berkeley, was placed in it. In 1894, in accordance witil
plans submitted by the D ean to the Chapter and Select
Vestry, further restorations and improvements were
effected in this historic edifice, of which the following were
some of the principal. The organ, which was in the choir
gallery, at the west end, and the side galleries, which
extended one-third of the length of the choir, were removed.
The transept arches, which had been built up in
1774, were re-opened. The new two-manual organ was
placed in south transept arch. The old lath-and-plaster
ceiling was replaced by a very beautiful one of ornamental
pitchpine work. The old stoves, with their unsightly
liues, gave place to modern hot-water pipes. The new
choir stalls a re of Itali an oak. The sanctuary floor, which
had been of wood , is laid in handsome mosaic. The new
Holy Table has been presented by the Canons of the
Cathedral, and is from the desig n of the Revd. John
Brougham, M.A., Canon of Glenore, and R. Monkstown,
Cork. There is a fine east window, the g ift of Revd. Vii .
' Vilkinson, D.D. The cost of these improvements, by
which the cathedral has been greatly beautified, has exceeded
£1,300. On the 18th of March, 1900, a very
beautiful brass lectern, presented by the Dean and Mrs.
Fleming, in memory of two of their children, was dedicated
by the Bishop of the diocese.
Extensive improvements have also been effected in the
church at Ballycottin. It also has been heated with smallbore
hot-water pipes. In the choir the sittings and prayer
desk have been placed choir-wise. There is an excellent
American organ. Position of pulpit improved, etc.

Dean Flem\ing is ' t he author of varioll,s articles of
a ntiqua ri an interest, etc. I a m indebted to him for the
following interesting notes relating to the Cathedral of
Cloyne, which owes so much to his zeal for its recent
improvements. There are in the Cathedral two handsome
flagons, presented by Bishop Crowe, whose benefaction
to the diocese of Cloyne is so well known. These a re
very solid and heavy, and yet they a re, li ke the rest of the
silver of that time, ha mmered, and not cast.

192 CLOYNE. [CLOYNE.
Bishop Pooley bequeathed a very large flagon, bearing
the anns of his family. There is also a large flagon, 18
inches in height, the gift of D ean Scardeville; and a
chalice with the inscription-"John Moore de Bandon
fecit"-at a time when the Bandon Corporation had its
silversmiths. There are also three patens of old silver.
The silver plate of Kilmahon parish has been given to
Ballycottin Church.
T he Dean has also got the old Cathedral Seal- date
I7oo-a representation of which is to be found in "Caulfi
eld's Cloyne." In the Dean's possession is also an old
silver poor-box, with an ebony handle, which was formerly
used to collect alms in the gallery of the Cathedral. This
was discovered by the Dean in an old box, where.it.. had
lain for yea rs , and was spoken of as "an old pewter thing."
Miss \Noodroffe presented to "the Dean of Cloyne" the
old study chair of Bishop Brinkley, which her father had
bought at hi s auction a t the P alace of Cloyne. The Dean
has put a brass plate on this chair, with an inscription
recording the g ift. .
During some excavations in the Cloyne churchyard, near
the old "Fire House," a small tablet, with the Crucifixion,
was found. It probably had been a mural tablet used in
the house while it was used for the reputed object for which
that building existed, viz., as a place where the Sacred Fire
was kept by the nuns of the order of St. Bridget, whose
duty it was to keep alive a fire which at all times the
Christia n community ' could have access to when they
wanted it- as also where they were to kindle their Easter
fire, after it had been quenched on Good Friday, and
remained so till Easter Morn. Under the south wall of
this Fire House there was found a vault, shaped to that
of a human body, with a place for the head and neck at
the west end of it; and in that was found the skull in
its place; and in the east, the bones of the rest of the body.
Stone coffins of similar shape had been found in the
Ca thedral when the fo undation of the preSelit SCreen wa3
laid , dividing the nave and choir.
The Dean also obtained the old font of Aglish Church,
dio. Cork. It is one of great antiquity-pre-Norman. In
some English churches may be seen ones exactly similar.
It is the giJt of the Revd. Richard- Hingston, whose family
were so much connected with the cathedral of Cloyne. It
was found in a field a t some distance from the late church

CLOYNE·l CLOYNE-COOLE. '93
of Aglish, and about where the ancient church had stood,
the foundation of which had sunk into the ground and
disappeared, and with it the old font, which was discovered
by a plough striking against it. It was a good
deal injured by the treatment it was subjected to; but it
is safely deposited now in a corner of the cathedral aisle,
with an inscription recording its recovery.
In the D ean 's custody are also some old diocesan papers
of interest- Bishop Crowe's Visitation List, and others.
Some valuable MSS. have likewise come to his hands on
the death of the late Precentor Moore, LL.D.-papers connected
with the struggles of the bishops of Cloyne to
recover the episcopal lands from the Fitzgeralds, who had
illegally seized them, a nd other families who had wrongful
though legal possession of them. It would be well if
these could be deciphered and preserved.
W . R. Crook-Lawless, Esq. , and Mrs. Crook-Lawless,
of Kilcrone, have put up a memorial window in the east
of the north transept of the cathedral, in memory of Mrs.
Crook-Lawless' mother, by whom the north window was
put up. It is of a very beautiful desig n, in stained g lass,
the subject being Faith, Hope, and Charity. It is the
work of Mayer and Co. , of London and Munich. There
a re few spots of more interest and beauty in any building in
Ireland than this north transept, under whose floor li e
generations of the ancient families of F itzgerald and
O'Brien, Lords of Inchiquin and Thomond, the Bishops,
\ Voodward, and probably Crowe, the vault of the
Brillkleys, a nd the family vault made by Bishop Berkeley.
Miss Adelaide Jane Gaggin, of Shanagarry, Cloyne,
who di ed 29th January, 1902, bequeathed a sum of £500
to R. C. B. for the maintenance of divine service in the
church of Ballycottin .
