With this talk of ornamentation - think of the ornamentation on the surviving Lynch’s castle in Galway and picture a large town with these sorts of ornamented buildings

10 posts held, back to 25 October 2024 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 pageof Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 10 posts for this entry, the most recent from 25 October 2024. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.

Lifetime counters from Telegram’s own channel header, read 6 August 2026 — not the date at the top of this page, which is when the subscriber count was last read. Below Telegram’s rounding threshold, so these counts are exact.
Reaction mix
10 reactions across 2 posts, in 1 kind.

No sentiment is inferred, and none should be read in. This table is ordered by count and by nothing else. Emoji do not carry stable meaning across languages or communities — 🙏 is thanks in one channel and mourning in another — so we publish which ones were pressed and how often, and pass no judgement on what an audience meant by them.
Precision. Telegram publishes reaction counts per emoji and short-forms each one — 4.34K, 1.2M — so any single kind at or above 1,000 reaches us at three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. The shares above are ratios of those figures and carry the same error. This is also why the total here can differ slightly from a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page: both are sums of the same rounded parts, taken over samples with different edges.
Coverage. Reactions were read on 3 of the 10 sampled posts in this sample. Summed by Telegram’s own count on each post — not by adding up the per-emoji breakdown above — those same posts carry 10reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.
Measured over the 10 most recent posts we hold, published 25 October 2024 to 25 October 2024, using the newest reading held for each. Telegram Stars are excluded: they are a payment, not a reaction, and they have their own section.

In 1889 some inhabitants could still recall a then-demolished house which had had traces of gilding on the ornamental stonework, but by that time such old houses as survived had been submerged in new buildings. Images from 13th century Kilmarnock Dominican abbey

A description of the now lost ruins: In 1775 Dr Campbell wrote of the ruined town that 'it preserves a greater share of magnificence than anything I have yet seen in Ireland. There is but one street now standing entire.’ In 1778 Beaufort observed that the ruined houses were 'all of cut stone to the middle floor with a singular facia over it.’ Thomas Crofton Croker, seeing the place about the time Mulvany painted i…

Signs of the recent troubles are evident in the numerous ruined thatch houses and even stone houses listed by the 1654 Survey. Kilmallock saw rapid changes in Cromwellian times: Five years later by 1659 when the Poll Tax was compiled it contained 610 adults of whom 537 were Irish and 73 English, and 15 new English proprietors had established themselves. This late influx of English indicates that the original appea…

Indeed, two of the houses had but a single room on the third floor corresponding with five or six on the floors below. These houses and the 6 buildings described as Castles (four having three storeys and the other two having two) were all in the hands of the Irish. The remainder of the town within the walls was composed of thatched houses, of which 4 were two-storey and 81 single-storey structures, 19 of the latte…

Here’s a map of the town ~1600 (Joanes) and survey on its inhabitants: The town itself before its destruction was mostly populated by ‘Irish Papists’ as per the The Civil Survey of 1651-56 There was only one English proprietor within the walls (a non-resident, who held only thatched houses). Three other proprietors are described as "English interest” but from their names they must have been Irish collaborators. Of …

Quick history of Kilmallock on period of interest: James FitzMaurice FitzGerald burnt the town down during the Second Desmond Rebellion ~ 1579. After, Sir John Perrot, Lord President of Munster would rebuild the town where it became chequered and was fortified with a supposed unusual appearance. It was severely damaged in the Cromwellian Wars, when the defences were dismantled, and in 1690 after the Williamite-Jac…

The painting about by Mulvany show what’s left. I have a screenshot here of what it’s like today but as you a see only the ruined Castle tower house remains from the painting. The older stone houses on its streets built ~end of 16th century are no more. Also the painting of Main Street - that street is now called Sarsfield Street now because the Sarsfield’s owned a stone building (demolished century ago)

Kilmallock was once a wealthy thriving Gaelic town. Its ruins in 1775 earning its name as the ‘Irish Balbeck’ and later after its more advanced decay in the 19th century ‘fallen princess’ Have a look of this painting also by J. G. Mulvany in 1827 and you can see the ruins of the town to visualise more - the ruins of Balbeck also included for reference.
Showing the 10 most recent of 10 posts we hold for @IrishArtArchitecture. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
Citation-graph rank
Citation-graph rank — 612,915 of 1,548,671entries in the measured graph. A weighted position computed from the forward and mention edges below — republished posts weigh more than named mentions — and recomputed periodically, over the whole graph. Published only as this ordinal position, never as a score: a position is a fact, and a score printed beside one channel’s name would read as a verdict this register does not make. The two counts beneath stay separate for the same reason mentions are never summed with forwards anywhere else on this page — a named-by count costs nothing to manufacture. The top 100 by this measure, or how it is computed.
Forward network
Republished by
Channels on the register that have forwarded this channel's posts into their own feed.
Built only from forwarded posts we have actually read, on both sides. Coverage is early and deliberately incomplete: a missing link means we have not read the post that would prove it, never that the relationship does not exist. Counts are distinct forwarded posts observed, so they only ever go up as we read more.
