1881: Youghal

YOUGHAL I S a considerable market town and seaport, a parlia- mentary borough and a parish, situated at the eastern extremity of the county of Cork, in tbe barony of Imokilly, at the western side of the moutb of the river Blackwater, 30 miles E. from Cork, 46 w.s.w. from Waterford, and 137 s.s.w. from Dublin, and is the terminus of the Cork and Youghal line of railway. The beauty of the harbour, especially from the sea entrance, and also of the town itself, as seen from the county of Waterford, is much admired by travellers, as well as the fine scenery of the Blackwater river, whioh is navigable to Cappoquin, within two miles of Lismore. By means of this water com- munication, as well as by means of the tributary river the Bride (which is navigable as far as Jauevale, near Tallow), large quantities of merchandise, coal, and sea- sand are conveyed in barges and small vessels to these and other neighbouring towns; and in return grain and cattle are transmitted from the interior to Youghal for trans-shipment to England. Youghal is a place of great antiquity. Its singular name (pronounced as if written Yawl), is Irish, Eochaille, i.e. the "Yew Wood," and was derived from the situation of the town at the base of a low range of hills once clad with indigenous forests of yew trees. The aboriginal inhabitants were called Vodio, who, according to Ptolemy, inhabited the fertile tract lying between the mouths of the Luvius or Lee, and Dabrona, or Blackwater, and who affixed the name of Vadium Promontorium on the sea-ward point of Bally- cotton Island, midway between Youghal and Cork harbours. They had passed over, in all probability, in their light coracles of skin from Britain (for their name is British, Vydhien, signifying "Woods"), when satisfied with the abundance of the country and the produce of their fish- ing, they were contented to make their settlement here. The Vodio have left us many remains of their primitive dwellings or raths, scattered all over the district, though here, as usually in Ireland, erroneously attributed to the Danes. The raths were circular entrenchments thrown up round the wigwams of the aborigines, and were planted round with wattles forming a species of stockade or de- fence. The dyke, or fence, served as an enclosure for cattle by night, and a protection against wolves. Subterra- neous passages and circular chambers were excavated within the enclosure, and lined with rubble-stone, to serve as granaries for corn, and depositories for the few articles of value these early settlers possessed. On the hill over the town, towards the sea, was the great earth- fort called Rath Nolan. At the opposite end of the town, Raheen lane, a passage midway up Cork hill, branching towards the left of the Fever Hospital, were other entrench- ments which have now disappeared. Further up the hill on the Old Cork road, near Maryville, is a rath with a subterraneous passage nearly a mile in length. Towards Kilnatown are Lord Ponsonby's estates, among which are the denominations of the Breedas and the Two Baths; adjoining the church of Ardagli are some splendid re- mains, subterraneous communications of unexplored length and magnitude. Christianity was introduced into this district in the early part of the fifth century, by Saint Declan, who located himself at Ardmore, ccunty Water- ford, within f jur miles of Youghal. Through the labours of this devoted missionary and his successors, the light of divine truth soon dispersed the shades of paganism; and in the succeeding century we have the traces of many religious houses having be founded in the neighbourhood. In the beginning of the ninth century the roving vessels of piratical Scandinavians, calling themselves vi kings, or kings of the sea, visited Ireland, and year after year continued their predatory attacks until they finally established themselves in most of the harbours on the southern and eastern coasts. A band of Norwegians, detached from the main body, who, under their Prince, Sitricus, bad seized on the city of Waterford, entrenched themselves, about the year 854, at Eo-chaille or Youghal, and laid the foundations of a commercial sea-port. Ten years after they suffered a great defeat in this harbour at the hands of the natives. The " Annals of the Four Masters" have this record of the battle: " 864. In this year a victory was gained over the fleet of Eo-chaille by the Deisi, and the fortress (i.e. that erected by the Norwegians) was destroyed." The town, notwithstanding, must have grown and prospered, for among the great highways of Ireland, iu the year 872, is mentioned the Bealach—Eo- chaille, or the road to Youghal, an appendage sufficiently indicative of the importance of the place. The Anglo- Norman adventurers quickly saw tho advantage of the site of Youghal, and the Oplialy Fitzgeralds who, on the death of Fitzstephen in 1182, inherited from him a moiety of his possessions in the county of Cork, here established a settle- ment about the close of the twelfth century. They colo- nised the town with men-at-arms and traffickers from Bristol; at the same time they built a light-house on the cliff, at the west side of the harbour's mouth, aud richly endowed a nunnery, caUed the nunnery of the chapel of St. Anue under the condition that the nuns should see that the light was regularly maintained. The town reoeived its first charter from King John, iu the year 1209, and similar letters of privileges were granted by nearly every succeeding monarch. Edward HI. granted charters in 1358, 1374, and 1375 ; Biehard H. in 1380, 1397, aud 1399; Henry IV. in 1404 ; Henry V. hi 1414 (two charters); Edward IV. in 1462 ; Eichard IH. in 1483 aud 1485 ; Henry VII. in 1497; Elizabeth in 1559, 1584. 1585 and 1587; James I. iu 1609 and 1617, aud Charles II. in 1660. The unfortunate James II. granted a new charter of incorporation April 18, 1683, which was not altered by the change in the succession to the throne. Under the fostering care of the Geraldines, Youghal grew into a place of great importance. Tho houses founded for Franciscans and Dominicans by that princely family, together with, the college and collegiate church, attracted many visitors; aud sundry privileges were at various times conceded to its trade. By the charter of Edward IV. in 1462, it was made one of the petty limbs of the cinque ports, and was to enjoy all tlio liberties of any of the kiug's cinque ports iu Ireland. In the year 1579, Youghal was taken and sacked by the Earl of Desmond, and being regained by Captain White, it was in the same year a second time plundered by John Fitz- gerald, seneschal of Imokilly. It was again assailed, but unsuccessfully, by the seneschal in January, 1582. In the civil war of 1641, it was gallantly maintained by the great Earl of Cork, who died here while shut up by the rebels, September 15, 1643. The Earl of Castlehaven, the leader of the Irish insurgents, besieged the town in the summer of 1645, and lay before it for ten weeks. By the heroism of the garrison he was kept at bay until succour arrived from Cork, by a fleet under tbe famous Admiral Sir William Penn, when he was finally repulsed with considerable loss to his forces. Youghal opened its gates to Cromwell in August 1649, and here the Protector established himself in excellent winter quarters. After his operations in Ireland, Cromwell here quitted for ever its shores, embarking May 29, 1650, in the frigate President, which awaited liim in the harbour. Among its other interesting reminiscenses we should not omit the associations of YouRlial with the memory of the gallant but unfortunate Sir Walter Raleigh, whose residence, scarcely altered -from bis day, is still shown here. He was mayor of Youghal in 1589 and 15S9, and in the grounds of his domain, now called Myrtle Grove, he is said to have first planted the potato. The mansion is in the old English style, presenting three high pointed gables in front; the interior, for the most part, is wains- cotted with Irish oak, and in the great drawing room is a fine carved oak mantel piece rising to the height of tbe ceiling. This beautiful seat belonged for many centuries to the Hayman family, who removed from Somersetshire to Ireland (temp. Charles I.), and on the death of William Atkin Hayman, iu 1816, was sold, and is now the property and residence of Mrs. P. Hennessy. The town of Youghal in former times possessed a much | greater relative importance in the south of Ireland than it | does at presont, owing to its harboui and fortifications, the I remains of which latter are still existing.

I S a considerable market town and seaport, a parlia-mentary borough and a parish, situated at the eastern extremity of the county of Cork, in tbe barony of Imokilly, at the western side of the moutb of the river Blackwater, 30 miles E. from Cork, 46 w.s.w. from Waterford, and 137 s.s.w. from Dublin, and is the terminus of the Cork and Youghal line of railway.

ratepayers of tlie horongh, under the provisions of the lighting and cleansing act of George IV. The corporate property passed into their hands at the passing of the Mu-nicipal Reform Bill, when the corporation oi Youghal was abolished. The town consists principally of one street, nearly a mile in length, divided into two parts denomin-ated the North and South Main streets; the separation is effected by a lofty square building, called the Clock gate, containing the town dock and bell, surmounted by a dome and cupola. The savings bank is a handsome building, in Nelson place, here the business of the loan fund society is nlso conducted.The other public buildings are, the Branch Bank of Ireland, the Provincial Bank, the Custom House, the sessions house and the bridewell. At the northern ex-tremity of the harbour, about a mile from the town, is a wooden pile bridge, erected partly by a Government loan and partly by shareholders. The bridge connects the coun-ties of Cork and Waterford. and is considered the longest in Ireland; a small toll is charged both for passengers and goods. By this bridge the road to Waterford is shortened fourteen miles. The harbour is both safe and commodious, although the entrance to it has been considered dangerous, in consequence of a bar stretching across the mouth of it, and the water not being sufficiently deep in the channel for large vessels. An admirable chart was prepared by a scien-tific gentleman, and published by Mr. Norie, by means of which the most perfect stranger can bring his ship in at flood tide, by either the eastern or western channel, and moor her in safety opposite the town. In 1851, a light-house was erected at the mouth of the harbour, and ou the first of February, 1852, the harbour light was first displayed. The lantern is 78 feet above high water level. There are several good quays and piers for discharging merchandise. The staple trade of the town is the exportation of corn, provisions, bricks and earthenware, of which large quanti-ties are shipped in coasters for Cork,and the importation cf coal, cuhn, timber and slate. There is little foreign trade now to what existed formerly ; the merchants of Lismore, Fermoy, Tallow and Cappoquin ship then- goods and unload then' consignments in the port and clear out in the Youghal custom house. The government of the town is vested iu the hands of magistrates, who are also justices for the couuty, who hold petty sessions in the court house every Thursday. There are also quarter sessions held once a year in the month of July. The town is the head quarters of the constabulary district, and a coast guard station. Youghal previous to the Union sent two members to the Irish Parliament, and continued to be so represented until

the Union, since which period it has returned one membe to the Imperial Parliament. The present representative is Sir J. M'Kenna, Esq.

Thp places of religious worship in this town are large ard commodious. The Protestant Episcopal church of St. Mary is cruciform, in the Gothic style, with a low square tower attached, which is used as a belfry. Several very ancient families are buried within its walls, one of the earls of Graudison, several of the Earl of Cork's family, in tho chancel (which is most curious), a daughter of General Scrope, who was one of the judges of Charles I., that voted for his being beheaded. Attached to the church is a vory ancient chapel, the east window of which is in a fine state of preservation, aud has attracted the admiration of most travellers. A chapel of ease at the south end of the town, is built on the lands once in the possession of the Francis cans, who had here a richly endowed friary (the first of this order in Ireland), founded by Maurioe Fitzgerald. Lord Justice of Ireland, in the year 1221. The Boman Catholic church is surmounted by a handsome steeple, aud is em-bellished with a cut stone front; there is also a chapel at-tached to the Presentation Conveut, adjoining the chapel of ease. The Independents, Wesleyau and Primitive Methodists, and Society of Friends have each of them re-spectable places of worship. There are schools for gratuit-ous education in the town, among which are the endowed school of the Duke of Devonshire; two schools, one in the north the other in the south ends of the town connected with the Church Eduoation Society; National sohools, aud a National school for females, conducted by the nuns at the convent. The following are the principal charities :—the Protestant Relief Society, supported by local contributions; in connection with this charity a neat aud elegant asylum has been erected by the Protestant inhabitants, capable of containing forty inmatss. Also near this is a Protest-ant female orphan institution, founded in 1852, and sup-ported by voluntary contributions. The Earl of Cork's alms house for six widows; Mr. Rouayne's alms bouse for four widows ; a lying in hospital; and an infirmary and dispensary, with fever hospital attached, and a Magdalen asylum. The market is held on Saturday. The annual fairs are held on Wednesday and Saturday. The annual fairs are Ascension Day and October 18th ; and there are fairs for cattle on the first Thursday monthly, held in tho Cattle market. The population of the parish of Youghal in 18G1 was 8,378, and in 1871, 7,4bG, and that of the town 6,081.
