Turtulla, Fertiana, County Tipperary
Turtulla is a townland in the civil parish of Fertiana, County Tipperary. It is a little over 790 acres in extent and is bounded on its northern edge by the River Suir, which separates it from another, much smaller, townland of the same name, which belongs to Thurles civil parish. Turtulla House The townland house, ''Turtulla House'', is now the clubhouse of Thurles Golf Club. The house and 218 acres were offered for sale in the ''Tipperary Star'' newspaper in February 1944 and were bought, for £6,100, on behalf of the club by a local solicitor, P. J. O'Meara. A map of the area drawn in 1755 shows a house on the site. Previous owners of the house included members of the Nicholson, Bailey and Maher families. Daniel O'Connell stayed in the house as the guest of the Mahers, when he addressed a "monster meeting" on a hill at nearby Knockroe on the outskirts of Thurles.William Nolan, Thomas G.

Civil Parishes In Ireland
Civil parishes () are units of territory in the island of Ireland that have their origins in old Gaelic territorial divisions. They were adopted by the Anglo-Norman Lordship of Ireland and then by the Elizabethan Kingdom of Ireland, and were formalised as land divisions at the time of the Plantations of Ireland. They no longer correspond to the boundaries of Roman Catholic or Church of Ireland parishes, which are generally larger. Their use as administrative units was gradually replaced by Poor_law_union#Ireland, Poor Law Divisions in the 19th century, although they were not formally abolished. Today they are still sometimes used for legal purposes, such as to locate property in deeds of property registered between 1833 and 1946. Origins The Irish parish was based on the Gaelic territorial unit called a ''túath'' or ''Trícha cét''. Following the Norman invasion of Ireland, the Anglo-Normans, Anglo-Norman barons retained the ''tuath'', later renamed a parish or manor, as a un ...
