Tully Church lies in Laughanstown (variously spelled Lehaunestown, Lehaunstown); it is located in South Dublin, 500 m south-southeast of Laughanston Luas stop (Green Line).
The original church structure dates to the 6th–9th centuries AD. One ancient name is Telach-na-nun ecspop (Tullow of the bishops) and it must have been an important venue if bishops met there. There is a legend that seven bishops started out from there to visit St Brigid at Kildare. Elsewhere these bishops are mentioned as the "Seven Bishops of Cabinteely" (Alice Curtayne, Saint Brigid of Ireland)
In 1179 the Church was granted to the Priory of The Holy Spirit.
The chancel, which is wider than the nave, was added in the late 12th or early 13th century by the Normans. The unusually larger chancel was added to the nave during the early 13th century and has a rounded arch and two rounded headed east windows. The nave dates to the 13th century.
The church was in use up to about 1615. It came under the authority of Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin who supplied clergy to keep it going. It was reported to be in good condition when inspected in 1615, but according to a report in 1630 had been badly damaged in recent storms. After that it was abandoned and fell into ruin.
The cross by the roadside is set upon a plinth and is dedicated to James Crehan (Grehan) who apparently saved the Cross from being discarded when the level of the road was being adjusted in the late 1800s. The plinth replicates the soil removed leaving the Cross standing at its original height. There are a set of worn steps on one side of the plinth which allows one to climb up and view the Cross closely.
There is a second cross in the field opposite Tully Church and this can be accessed via a low wooden fence [has been blocked]. This cross dates from the 12th century and is also reputed to be dedicated to St Brigit.
A lockdown daily walk around part of Shirley. Headed down Solihull Lane, Hall Green onto Streetsbrook Road then down Olton Road back to Stratford Road.
Plenty of bunting and Union Jack's out for the VE Day 75 Bank Holiday Weekend.
This was on Olton Road.

Well I'm unlikely to see any stained glass windows inside a building during the lockdown.

One of the most gleefully complete failures in history, I think:
"Nintendo Virtual Boy...completely blocked the player's peripheral vision...The console's box and manual warned that the display could cause eyestrain and eye problems, especially for those under 7 years of age...The base of the system could not be adjusted vertically. This meant that most players had to lean over to play games resulting in back-pains after a short time of play....If the base broke, a way of continuing play was to view set the console on its back and view downward. This would frequently result in a mark being present on the player's forehead" (from Wikipedia).

thanks to one of my flickr contacts "dorsetbays" who posted some pictures of this event yesterday...decided to Weymouth today to see for myself...it was a perfect sunny day for the event, but I must say they are not easy to photograph!

My friend, Robin Anstealin securted two Guest Passes for the 2015 Reading Festival...and he kindly invited me to join him! That gave us full weekend admission to the festival, and access to the private R&R zone adjacent to "backstage" of the main arena. By festival standards that meant nirvana - easy access, no beer queues, exotic drinks and cocktails, private dance areas, real food, tables and chairs, no ablution queues, real (sanitary) toilets, no mud, clean/odourless people. Bliss! We checked into an out-of-town Holiday Inn late on the evening of Friday, August 28 and eventually made it to the festival in time to see Limp Bizkit and the tail end of Mumford & Sons. We returned on Friday morning, sadly missing Baby Metal's set, but catching Fidlar, Marmozets, Modestep, Pierce the Veil, Alexisonfire, Royal Blood, Bring Me The Horizon and, the headline act, Metallica. After a great (relatively rain-free) two days, and we made our way back home in the early hours of Sunday, August 30. With no wives and children around, we took the opportunity to brave the fringes of the mosh-pit at the front of the main stage, and here are some of the images I captured.
Canadian post-hardcore-screamo's Alexisonfire Were okay for a track or two, and then got stuck in a same-old-same-old groove. Moving swiftly on...

Old Edwardians Sports Club - this is on Streetsbrook Road in Shirley, Solihull.
Seen from close to Olton Road and outside of Robin Hood Cemetery and Crematorium.
The Edwardian Football Club (Rugby Union) is also based here.
Seen on my daily walk under lockdown.
I meant to get this in 2019 when I got Robin Hood Cemetery, and only now got around to walking past it on lockdown.
