Kilworth, its village and its Castle.

20th historic documentary from my series 'Stories from the River of Time.'
Kilworth is derived from Cill Uird & means the 'Church of the Order'. It was founded in the 7th century by St. Coleman, who was a disciple of ST. Muchoda of Lismore.
Cloghleigh Castle or Kilworth Castle - translated as the castle of the Grey Stone and was the principle stronghold of the Condons who had come to Ireland with the Anglo Norman Invasion.
The Coach Road in the 19th century was part of the main Cork - Dublin road which passed through the village of Kilworth and on towards Ballyporeen and eventually Dublin. Kilworth was a noted stopping stage for the Bianconi Stagecoach Company and the horses were changed at the Market House in Kilworth's village square.
