Old Cross Ardboe, 30th May 2014
The History of Ardboe Cross and Abbey
Meet with local historian Pat Grimes, a local man who can read the 1000 year old inscriptions of Ardboe Cross on the Shores of Lough Neagh, in the District of Cookstown.
Ardboe Cross
One of the finest examples of the Irish High Cross in Ulster, can be found at Ardboe County Tyrone, located on a small hillock close to the western shores of Lough Neagh.
Ardboe High Cross, which dates to the ninth/tenth century AD, is all that now remains of a sixth century monastery, which was established at Ardboe by St. Colman. The monastery was burned in 1166, destroying any early wooden structures. Nonetheless, Ardboe endured as a centre for Christian worship, later becoming the site of a medieval parish, and in the nearby graveyard stands the remains of a seventeenth century church erected for Protestant worship - abandoned in the eighteenth century for the current Church of Ireland location. Also located in a nearby field to the north is another ruined church known as the Abbey.
The Cross, made of sandstone, stands exceptionally high, about eighteen feet, and is a characteristic local variation, consisting of a taller more narrow shaft with a small cross head - also discernible at the nearby High Cross in Donaghmore, County Tyrone. Although slightly weathered and damaged - emigrants in the earlier part of this century often took with them a small chip of stone from the cross - Ardboe High Cross is a superb example of figure carving incorporating twenty two panels of sculpture of biblical events.

OLD CLONOE
Irish patriotic ballad in honour of the four IRA volunteers who died in the ambush by British forces at Clonoe,County Tyrone, 16th Feb 1992.
OLD CLONOE
Soft blows the breeze in old Clonoe,
Mid trembling leaves songbirds sing low; And deep blood-red wild roses grow,
For my true love in old Clonoe.
( chorus )
Ah Love, sweet Love, my heart is sore --
Oh will I see you nevermore ?
But I'll be true, come weal or woe --
I'll love you still, in old Clonoe.
Remember how we used to play,
In summer fields the livelong day;
And how each Sunday we would go,
To pledge our love in old Clonoe.
( repeat chorus )
'Tis well I mind that awful day,
When Freedom called you to the fray;
You made your stand 'gainst Ireland's foe,
Alas to fall in old Clonoe.
( chorus twice )

This is a song written many moons ago. The song was born in a barn in the shores of Lough Neagh back in 2000. This show was the final of a competition to play a little slot at the Glastonbury Festival in England. Paul Carolin is on drums, Peter Baldwin on bass, Mark McCaul on lead guitar and Cormac McCaul on vocal and rhythm. Cormac wrote the song and Garret Mcguire of maguiremedia took the footage. Humbuzzer are touring at the moment so join them on facebook.com/humbuzzer. Sound Out.
