BANTRY - (Bennett's History of Bandon,' 1869)
Bantry derives its name from Ban-tra (white stand), from the white shingly fore-shore in front of it. Others derive it from Beant MacFariola (a descendant of the O Donovans and O Mahonys - two septs who formerly possessed all this country).
Bantry was the name at one time applied to two settlements - Ballygobban (or Oldtown) and Newtown, where Ireton had a fort with bastions erected, and to which the present name of the town was given. (Newtown subsequently lost the name of Bantry, and it is to Ballygoblan the name of Bantry is at present applied.) These divisions were so distinct and apart that each had its own fairs. The Earl of Anglesea, who obtained under the Act of Settlement a grant of 96,284 acres of the forfeited estates in the baronies of Beere and Bantry, procured a patent, dated March 15th, 1679, for holding fairs at Ballygobban; namely:- on May 29th and 30th, August the 10th and 11th, and on October the 4th and 5th and markets on Wednesdays and Saturdays. And John Davis acquired a patent, March 10th (13th William the Third), for holding a fair on the 2nd of November and the day following, at Bantry.
The importance of Bantry, in a military point of view, was recognized even by one in whose hand the pen was a far more powerful weapon than the sword; and that, long before our Gallican neighbours selected it as a point from whence they could annoy England.
So far remote as Elizabeth's time, the poet Spenser, in his view of the state of Ireland, 'written in dialogue verse between Eudoxus and Irenoeus,' in reference to the thousand 'souldiours' who he would quarter in 'Mounster,' make Iren say;- 'I would have a hundred of them placed at the Bantry, where is a most fit place not only to defend all that side of the west part from forraine invasion, but also to answer all occasions of troubles to which that country, being so remote, is very subject.'
Bantry was unfortunately very subject to troubles. Its remoteness from the seat of authority, and the difficulty of getting to it, encouraged the Irish chieftains resident in its neighbourhood to revolt on 'all occasions.'
During the Desmond insurrection, the garrison at Bantry was attacked by Lord Barry and one of the McSwineys.
After the surrender of the Spaniards at Kinsale, Sir George Carew - the Lord-President of Munster - made his way out to Dunboy Castle, and took that valiantly -defended fortress, after a very hard and prolonged fight, by storm' and also another castle of the O Sullivans, which stood in Whiddy Island, and which subsequently destroyed by Ireton.
In 1641 the English settlers hew were stripped of everything they possessed. Nat Mayher lost his interest in the lands which he held under O Sullivan Beare; his household goods, his pewter, his brass, &c. All the horses and cows belonging to Tom Veyford were driven away by the rebels-two of whom had such a regard for the eternal welfare of Anthony Blunt, that they wanted him to turn Papist. But when Anthony - who was determined to remain an orthodox Christian - told them he wouldn't, those who complained that they were not allowed liberty of conscience said they'd make him! Christopher Spearing was deprived of property to the amount of eighty pounds and upwards, And Anges Tucker - a widow lady, who lived in Whiddy Island - complained that O'Sullivan's people went into the houses of several of the Protestant inhabitants, and took away their bibles.
If it was for the purpose of making themselves acquainted with their contents one would be almost disposed to forgive them, but those zealous religionists acted as if they believed the word of God was opposed to the knowledge of God-whose word they, in common with all other denominations of Christians, admitted it to be' and yet, says Mrs. Tucker, they threw them on the strand, and then most contemptuously threw stones at them.
When the rebellion was over, a great many of the Irish soldiers were permitted by the Commonwealth to enlist into the armies of several nations in amity with it. A large force, consisting of no less than seven thousand men, were shipped for service under the King of Spain by Don Ricardo White; and of this body many divisions embarked at Bantry for Spanish ports in the May of 1652.
Arthur, Earl of Anglesea, who, as has been previously stated, obtained a grant a grant of most of this country, had several of his lands erected into the manor of Bantry, and more of them into the manor of Altham; as appears by a private signet, dated Whitehall, February 6th, 1679, and duly enrolled. By this instrument the lauds in the barony of Beere and Bantry (with others) were erected into the manor of Bantry, and other lands in the said barony were erected into the manor of Altham, with two thousand acres in each for a domain. Power to create tenures; to hold Courts Leet and Baron, and a court of record; to build prisons, to appoint seneschals, bailiffs, gaolers, and other officers; to enjoy all waifs, &c; to impark three thousand acres or more in each manor, with free warren; to build tan-houses, and dress leather; to hold (weekly a Wednesday and Saturday market, and three fairs, &c., at Ballygobban, in the manor of Bantry; to appoint say [assay]-master and clerk of the market.
The desirability of having a fort at bantry forced itself upon the attention of Lord Orrery (the lord-president of Munster). That great caused to be erected there should be garrisoned with a hundred men, in addition to the sixty it then contained; thus confirming the opinion given by Spenser, nearly a century before, as to Bantry being :a most fit place to defend all that country from foreign invasion.'
In a letter to the Duke of Ormond, date Charleville, May 25th, 1666, Lord Orrery, speaking of the fort at Bantry, says:-'It is a small one, but regular, and consists of four small bastions, the faces of which are but forty-eight feet long, and the planks eighteen; the curtain ninety feet long. All the stoccadoes, which were on the inside on the brick of the graff, and placed there in the nature of a false bray, are rotted away, the guns unmounted, the drawbridge broken, and but one company of sixty men in it, commanded by Captain Manly. This fort is the furthermost western garrison of this country; and we have no garrison between it and Cork-which is about forty English miles. It stands over against Whiddy Island, in the bottom f the Bay of Bantry. This Place must immediately have on hundred men sent to it more than the company now in it, the drawbridge and pallisadoes forthwith mended, the guns mounted, more ammunition sent to it, and one month's victuals at least for one hundred and sixty men put into it; for this being the frontier garrison of the west, out to be well provided.'
The duke agreed with the views of the Munster lord-president; and in 'an estimate of the charge for putting into repair his Majesty's chief fortifications and places of strength throughout the kingdom of Ireland, made October, 1677,' says, concerning Bantry;-The fort is built of lime and stone, consisting of bastions. In it are houses built for two hundred men, but are all out of repair, and some wholly unrooffed; walls defective, gates and drawbridge decayed, the dry graff round the fort to be cleared; all which to repair will cost £400. In this fort must be mounted, on standing carriages, eight guns, which will cost £56; making new platform, £15; and for repairing the magazine, £80.
Lord Orrery thought that Bantry and Berchaven should be carefully guarded. Not only did their waters afford a secure retreat for the descent of a hostile fleet, but the country was inhabited by a large population impatient of British rule. 'I know no place in Ireland,' said Orrery, in a letter to the Lord-Lieutenant, in 1665 'so fit to begin a rebellion in as this place, - both for the multitude of ill-people in it, the fastnesses of the country, and the good, unguarded harbours in it, from whence, out of France, they may be there in forty-eight hours.' In another letter, he says that West Carbery contains, 'great crowds of ill-affected Irish.' Again, that there was a great number of the worst sort of people in Ireland-that they were ready for any villiany.' The bad opinion which his lordship entertained of West Carbery, Beere, and Bantry, in two years after-when he had more experience, and better opportunities of knowing the people-extended itself still further. 'I am certain,' said the acute and observant lord-president, 'that here is not such a pack of rogues in all Ireland as those in the west of this county.'
In 1689, the Count de Chateau Renaud cast anchor in Bantry bay; and landed a supply of money and military stores for the use of King James. Admiral Herbert, who had received orders not to allow any assistance to reach the south of Ireland from Brittainy, heard that the French were in the bay; and, although their fleet consisted of twenty-eight ships of war and five fire-ships, he boldly sailed in to attack them. Not only did Chateau Renaud's squadron greatly out-number him in men and guns, but he had the additional disadvantage of having the wind against him. After exchanging some broadsides with the enemy - which seems not to have hurt either party - Herbert, seeing no probability of being able to beat the Frenchman, circumstanced as he then was, judiciously stood out to sea; and the Frenchman, instead of following him, absolutely drew in closer to shore. Both fleets claimed the victory. The House of Commons passed a vote of thanks to its admiral for what - to make the most of it-was but a drawn battle, if it could be even called a battle; and King James was so overjoyed, that he had bonfires lighted, and a Te Deum chanted, in honour of the great victory gained over the English fleet by the French.
In 1697, some troops in the service of William the Third arrived from Flanders, and landed here.
On the 14th of December, 1796, another French fleet sailed from the shores of France to Bantry Bay, having on board twenty-five thousand men, under the command of General Hoche. Owing to thick fog, which lasted some days, they were enabled to escape the British fleet which was on the look-out for them; and by Christmas-day, the greater portion of them, consisting of thirty-six sail, with several thousand men on board-together with forty-one thousand one hundred and sixty stands of arms, twenty pieces of field artillery, nine large siege guns, mortars, howitzers, sixty-one thousand two hundred kegs of powder, seven millions of ball cartridges, seven hundred thousand flints, &c. - were safely in the harbour. Finding that the whole country were up in arms against them, and that a determined spirit of resistance filled every loyal breast, they held a council of war; when, after much discussion, it was decided to land the soldiers, under the guidance of some Irishmen who had accompanied them. But, upon further reflection, they thought that by this time troops must be on the march from every quarter upon Bantry; the peasantry - at least, that portion of them who had anything to lose - were decidedly hostile to them; and that in the perplexity they were in they had not even their general to consult, they finally determined to put to sea again--which they accordingly did, on the 2nd of January, 1797, having just remained nine days.
Near Bantry formerly stood a Franciscan abbey, which was founded by Dermot O Sullivan in 1460. Where it stood is still known as the friar's Hill, and the burial grounds that anciently surrounded it are still in use; but of the old building itself there is not even a stone left. Although none of the remains of the old priory were in existence in Smith's time, yet such was not the case some years before. When Dive Downs visited Bantry in 1699, he spoke of it ruins, and said they were within a short distance of the town. The ruins, when he wrote, must have included standing walls, and even a roof of some kind, for we find by a presentment passed by the Grand Jury of the county, only three years before, that there were then tow friars living there.
At the closed of the seventeenth century, the country beyond Bantry was still wild and barbarous. It did not contain a single Protestant place of worship, nor was divine service according to the rights of the Reformed Church ever heard, in all that extensive region stretching from Bantry to the confines of the county of Cork, and from thence to Glanerought in Kerry - a distance of at least twelve miles from the eastern boundary of the count. Eagles brought forth their young in its fastnesses, and wolves prowled about in its plains and valleys. Even the people who lived there were but little better than savages, and a journey through O Sullivan Beare's country in the reign of William the Third would be almost as great a feat as a journey into the interior of Africa would be now. When the bishop of Cork set out from Bantry for Berehaven, he returned by the same route; preferring on both occasions to trust himself to the waves in an open boat, rather than face the dangers of a passage over-land; and when he brought his life out of that country, and came safe to Cork, he thanked God.
When the fishing was good, Bantry prospered; and when the fish ceased to frequent the bay and the coasts adjoining, the town gradually kept sinking from bad to worse. Pilchards, herrings, haak, and sprats were at one time taken here in great abundance; but for the last fifty years the take of fish of any kind did not pay the expenses. it was during the middle of the last century that fishing was remunerative in Bantry.
In 1749 Mr. Richard Meade, an enterprising fish-merchant in the town, proved to the satisfaction of the Dublin Society that he caught and cured on his own account, in that year, no less than three hundred and eighty thousand fish of various kinds; and Mr. James Young, amptjer trader, saved, the previous year, two hundred and thirty-one barrels of sprats, and four hundred and eight-two thousand herrings. A valuable sand, thickly strewn with coral, and a tourist traffic in the summer months, are the chief support of Bantry now.

Proposals to be made to Mrs. Delany, at her house in Killarney, who will declare the purchaser as soon as the value is offered, and give sufficient time for the cutting of them.
(Tuckey's Cork Remembrancer) - AD 1777 - Feb.18 - Richard Townsend, John Townsend, Samuel Jervois and Daniel Callaghan, magistrates, with several gentlemen of the county and their servants, well mounted and armed, set out at two o clock in the morning to the mountains above Bantry, in the neighbourhood of Murdering glin and Glanunbannoul, where they apprehended several persons, charged with cutting off the ears of a horse.
(HC 11/1/1796) - Bantry Deal Yard - PIERCE NAGLE being determined to discontinue the Timber Business, will sell his DRAM BALK at Cork Price, and allow 10 per cent Discount for prompt Payment.

PIGOT’S DIRECTORY 1824 - BANTRY - A small but very populous town, in the county of Cork, one hundred seventy miles south-west of Dublin, forty-six west-south-west of Cork, and thirty west of Bandon. It is situated at the bottom of one of the finest and most extensive bays in the universe, capable of containing all of the shipping in Europe. Near this town, Ireton erected fortifications with four regular bastions in the protectorship of Cromwell. The Bay is memorable for a naval victory obtained by Admiral Herbert, over the French fleet in the year 1689. Here also a formidable French armament, destined to invade Ireland, was totally dispersed in the year 1796. The Earl of Bantry is the proprietor of this town, & has an elegant mansion within a quarter of a mile of it, situated on a slight eminence, commanding a most delightful prospect of the bay with a tract of rich and cultivated country, and at a distance, a long chain of stupendous mountains, the bold and romantic appearance of which has a grand and awful though not unpleasing appearance. His Lordship has also a delightful cottage at a short distance from the town, situate in the most charming and romantic spot that can well be imagined; and at one of those pleasing retreats this distinguished nobleman devotes the greater part of his leisure and fortune to the to the improvement and cultivation of his large estates, thereby giving employment to the poor, and setting a rare example to other noblemen and gentlemen, who derive their riches and superfluities from this ill-requited country. The chief business of the town is fishing, which is carried on to a very considerable extent, and gives employment to the majority of its population. The linen trade, though in its infancy, is rapidly increasing, and cannot fail of having a most beneficial tendency, in ameliorating the condition of the poor. The church is a new and elegant Gothic structure, having a lofty tower adorned with four pinnacles; but the interior remains in an unfinished state. The Roman Catholics and Wesleyan dissenters have commodious places of worship. A large school house is now erecting, where poor Catholic children will receive education, to defray the expense of building, which, the late Rev. Daniel O'Crowley, parish priest, left by will 200 (pounds), and the Earl of Bantry most liberally presented the land on which it is built. The Protestants have also a school for the education of the poor children of their persuasion. At the distance of fourteen miles, on the direct road to Bandon, is situated the small town of Dunmanway, near the head of the river Bandon; it has a chartered school for forty children, and was the first place in this province, where the linen manufacture flourished. Bantry has a good market on Saturday, a fair every month in the year, and a population of about 5,000.
