Lovely East window of St Paul's Church dedicated to the Bell Nicholls Family. The window was designed by Rev A. L. Moore who designed some of the stained glass in Ely Cathedral.

More serious matters: We visited St. Paul's Church and cemetery in Banagher where Arthur Bell Nicholls is buried. He returned to Ireland in 1855 after the death of Charlotte, lived at Hill House with his 2nd wife and died in 1906. Headstone below:

Music and song was provided by the wonderful Brid Gallagher, lead singer with the Kate Bush tribute band , Army Dreamers. So pleasant was the music that even some of the clergy present couldn't resist dancing.

What is the origin of the phrase " That beats Banagher " ? The answer lies in this beautiful book, launched this evening in Banagher of course.

This modest piece by Nigel Fletcher, artist, arrived in the post for me today. Lucky Friday 13th in this case. I bought it of course. No benefactors alas.
