Restoration of Kennys Well, Kilkenny.

This was a restoration project my Father took on with some friends sometime in the mid 90's.

I remember he carved a new cross for the top of the well, it being knocked down by some vandals and then making a new one, which seemed to stay, his persistence paying off or being acknowledged. In its completion there was an alter, a pathway and a stone carved sign at the wall by the entrance.

                   

Working on the Monkey Man.

Here is a picture of my Father working on a sculpture of a monkey man, its carved out of limestone, he would later polish it.

Here are some Photographs of stone works my Dad had taken in preparation of the restoration of the well, i also found some photos of the vandals graffiti in a handball alley, possibly a prerequisite to the knocking of the cross, acknowledging their own artistic merits, the well has been void of any vandalism since the first knocking, i believe my father went to alley and made some kind of offering, acknowledging the vandals .
