Background

History

Tynan has a High cross in the village's church yard, dating from 700 to 900. On its east face it shows a carving of Adam and Eve under an apple tree. Tynan Abbey, an 18th-century country house with an extensive demesne that belonged to the Stronge family, was situated near Tynan until it was destroyed by the Provisional IRA in 1981. The ruins have since been demolished. The grounds hold an extensive cemetery with grave stones going back centuries and others worn beyond recognition. Tynan won the status as the most well-preserved rural Irish village in 1993.
