Business in Fethard 1846
From Slater’s Directory of 1846
Or Fethard-Tip, as it is sometimes written – the she adjunct a contraction to distinguish it from the Fethard in the Co. of Wexford. Is a market town and parish, in the barony of Middlethird, Co of Tipperary, 99 miles S.W from Dublin, 33. W from Waterford, 49 S.E. by E from Limerick, 61 N.E. from Cork and about the same distance S. from Killenaule. The town which is small and irregularly built, is situated in a fertile part of the country, and previous to the union was a parliamentary borough, returning two members to the Irish parliament. Though now in point of size, but an inconsiderable town, it was formerly one of consequence and great strength, being encircled by walls and the four entrances to the town were guarded by gates and towers three of which are still standing. The garrison stood a siege in the time of Cromwell and the articles of treaty and capitulation are now in the possession of William Barton Esq. of Grove. To whom the principal part of the place belongs.
There is no prominent branch of business carried on here, the corn trade appears to be the principal and there are two or three mills for grinding that articles, one of which the abbey mill is extensive. The timber and coal trade is also one of importance here.
The town was formerly governed by a regular corporation, embodied by a character of James I it is now under the late Municipal Act governed by a body of commissioners who are possessed of a corporate property.
Petty sessions are held once a fortnight in an ancient building in the Main Street. The Cavalry barracks is a handsome building and forms a string object on entering the town.
The parish church of the Holy Trinity is old but commodious and handsome. It comprises the remaining aisle of an ancient structure of which the chancel is in ruins. It is in the decorated English style with a venerable tower. The Roman Catholic Chapel of the Holy Trinity is a spacious modern Structure. The beautiful old abbey formerly belonging to the Augustinian Friars has been fitted up as a chapel; lately a new front to it has been completed and it now presents a handsome appearance.
The Presbyterians have also a place of worship. The Protestant parish schoolhouse is a neat building, having two airy schoolrooms, one each for boys and girls. With comfortable apartments for the Master.
A national school for both sexes in Chapel lane and a valuable dispensary are the other principal charitable institutions. The market, which is held on Saturday, is not so well attended as might be expected from the fertility of the surrounding country.
The Chartered fairs are April 20th, the Friday before the next Trinity Sunday, September the 7th and November the 21st.
There are likewise fairs on the last Wednesday monthly unless the day should interfere with that on which the chartered fairs may fall. They are all chiefly for cattle – the November fair is a large one for fat stock. The parish of Fethard contained, in 1841, 4410 inhabitants and the town 3,915 of that number.
