| MillBrochure | Made a trip to one of the local mills just down the road, run by a distant relative of the office worker at the Abbey.
The mill is located in Graiguenamanagh (Gráig na Manach, meaning "Village of the monks", in Irish), also spelled Graignamanagh, it is a town in County Kilkenny, Ireland. It is located on the R705 regional road by the border with County Carlow on the River Barrow at the foot of Brandon Hill. It is home to Duiske Abbey, the largest and perhaps the finest of the thirty-four medieval Cistercian abbeys in Ireland. The abbey, which takes its name from the little river Duiske (Blackwater) which joins the Barrow here, was founded by William Marshall in 1204 and was suppressed by Henry VIII in 1536. Significant remains of the monastery exist to the rear of the houses that line the east side of Lower Main Street. The abbey's large "Early English" gothic church, was restored in the 1970s and in its northern aisle a model of the monastery
