If you find yourself in Castledermot, you might want to check out a couple places Bri ate!
While you’re in the area, see if you can get your hands on some award-winning Gibney’s Garden Preserves! Your taste buds will thank you. (Bri tried the Port and Plum Jam, as well as the Rhubarb Hibiscus Jam.)
St. James’ Church
The church and churchyard are rich with history!
If you’d like to see some 3D scans of historical monuments at St. James’ Church and the Franciscan Friary, click here. They’re amazing. You can turn them to see any angle — but fair warning, you might be there for a while. It’s easy to get caught up in it!
These snapshots are from a stop I made in Castledermot many years ago. This entire book came from a thought I had while looking at this picture of the swearing stone.
In 2020, Rebecca did a read along of Beyond the Swearing Stone, including videos where she answered reader questions. You can find those videos here!
