The Crokers of Lisnabrin Lisnabrin is near the village of Curraglass, which is close to the post town of Tallow, County Waterford.Lisnabrin itself, however, is in the County of Cork. It formed part of the estate given to Sir Walter Raleigh, having originally belonged to the Desmonds. A branch of the Coppingers had, from remote times, lived at Lisnabrin, and when Sir Walter Raleigh acquired the estate, in 1586, he secured the Coppingers in the lands of Lisnabrin under a lease for 4,000 years at the rent of 4d. per acre. Raleigh stood sponsor to the son of Mr. Coppinger, the son being called Walter. Mr. Coppinger, Walter's father, was living at Lisnabrin, with his son and two daughters, at the time that Hugh Croker first came to Ireland. Hugh was a son of Thomas Croker of Trevillas, in Cornwall, second son of the 8th John Croker of Lineham, Co. Devon, and with his brothers migrated to Ireland. They were all probably soldiers. Hugh served under Essex, and it was during the retreat of the English from Limerick towards Waterford, that a battle was fought between the English and Irish, called Tallow. Essex had fought two battles after leaving Limerick, one between Adare and Askeaton, and another between Askeaton and Croom, and in both had suffered considerably. He had rested for three days at Killmallock, whence he proceeded towards Fermoy, and then as if his intention in taking this route were merely to deceive his enemies and escape their pursuit, he suddenly changed his course and hurried to Lismore, in the County of Waterford. It was not till he reached this place that the Geraldine forces ceased their pursuit, and the English army took some repose after its fatigues and sufferings. He was attacked by the rebels near Tallow, at a village called Conna, and a severe engagement fought. In this engagement Coppinger took no part, though when it was over he and his servants went down to the field of battle to assist and relieve the wounded. Amongst the wounded they discovered a young English officer - he could not have been more than twenty - who was badly hurt and had been left to his fate on the field. Mr. Coppinger immediately ordered him to be conveyed to his own house, at Lisnabrin, where he was most assiduously nursed by Mr. Coppinger's two daughters. For a long time it was doubtful whether he could be brought round, but care and good nursing effected a cure. During this critical time he, of course, saw much of Lucretia, Mr. Coppinger's youngest daughter, and a strong attachment seems to have grown up between them - so strong that Hugh Croker, for so was the officer called, could not make his departure before he sought of Mr. Coppinger the hand of his daughter in marriage. Coppinger would not hear of it. In the first place, he said he must have his eldest daughter settled in life, and in the second place he could never consent to having a Protestant son-in-law. Sorrowfully young Croker departed, but determined to bring the weight of his interest with the Government to bear upon the obdurate father. He proceeded to London, and the next year, 1600, obtained a grant of Lisnabrin as a reward of his services during the war. He forthwith returned to Ireland, and was received at Lisnabrin as a welcome visitor. Day after day passed before he could bring himself to tell his friend Coppinger that he was in reality the owner of the property of his former preserver. At length one day Coppinger remarked to him how curious it was that he alone of all his neighbours had escaped confiscastion.Croker then told him all, but added, "None need depart if you will allow me to marry your daughter Lucretia." To this arrangement Coppinger ultimately consented, and thus Hugh Croker and Lucretia Coppinger became the ancestors of the Crokers of Lisnabrin.

Cedar The Cedar is a great family room. With two king size and one single bed this room is great for a family or perhaps the bunk room for all the kids. It accesses the Coppinger bathroom via a Jack and Jill door. It gains its name as it has a spectacular view of the ancient Cedar Tree in the woods opposite the front of the house, said to have been planted by Sir Walter Raleigh himself, and one of the oldest specimens in Ireland.

Johannes Matthaeus Koelz Johannes Matthaeus Koelz (1895–1971) led an extraordinary life marked by profound courage, artistic brilliance, and a firm moral stand against the horrors of war. Early Life and World War I Background: Born on March 31, 1895, in Mühldorf am Inn, Bavaria, into a Catholic family. He showed great promise as an artist from an early age. The Trenches: His studies at the Munich Academy of Fine Arts were interrupted by the outbreak of World War I.He served as an infantry officer on the Western Front and was awarded the Iron Cross for bravery after rescuing a wounded soldier at Verdun in 1916. A Shift in Perspective: The brutal realities of trench warfare, alongside the tragic death of his brother in action, profoundly changed him. The decorated war hero emerged from the conflict as a committed pacifist and anti-militarist. The Masterpiece and Escape "Thou Shalt Not Kill!": After the war, Koelz worked as a police officer while continuing his art studies. Between 1930 and 1937, he secretly painted his magnum opus: a monumental, 24-foot-wide anti-war triptych titled Thou Shalt Not Kill! (Du Sollst Nicht Töten). The shocking and powerful work depicted a crucified dead German soldier wearing a gas mask, surrounded by praying soldiers and priests blessing weapons. Defying the Regime: In 1937, he faced imminent arrest for "pacifist propaganda" (and, according to historical accounts, refused an incredibly lucrative offer to paint a portrait of Adolf Hitler). To prevent his masterpiece from being destroyed by the regime, Koelz made the agonizing decision to cut the massive painting into smaller pieces at a local sawmill, distributing the fragments to trusted friends and family to hide. Exile: Now a refugee, he fled Germany with his wife Claire and their children, journeying through Austria and Prague before arriving in England in 1939. His hardships continued when he was briefly interned and shipped to Australia as an "enemy alien" in 1940, though he later returned to the UK to serve in the Pioneer Corps. Time in Curraglass, Co. Cork Following the immense turbulence of the war years and the passing of his wife Claire in 1957, Koelz sought a quieter existence. In 1968, Buying a small cottage (unseen from a newspaper advert) in the rural Irish village Curraglass Co. Cork, he divided his latter years between Shelton (Stoke-on-Trent, England) and Curraglass, County Cork, Ireland. His time in Ireland was characterised by a peaceful but highly productive return to his art. His daughter Ava, explains how welcome he felt and he made many friends in the local area. In the tranquil, rural surroundings of Curraglass, Koelz continued to actively paint and sculpt. Moving away from the monumental political statements of his past, his later years in Ireland and England were spent drawing and painting numerous portraits, still lifes, and expressive landscapes, as well as engaging in book illustration. After a life defined by displacement, political persecution, and the fragmentation of his greatest artwork, Curraglass offered Koelz a much-needed sanctuary to dedicate his final years to his craft. He passed away in Stoke-on-Trent on July 3, 1971. A Lasting Legacy Decades after his death, his daughter Ava Farrington and art curators managed to track down several surviving fragments of Thou Shalt Not Kill! scattered across Europe. Today, pieces like the "Dead Soldier" and "Boy's Praying Hands" are held at the Leicester Museum & Art Gallery in the UK, ensuring that Koelz's artistic brilliance and his message of peace endure.
