Episode Synopsis

In this month's episode of Tipperary's Hidden History, Conor travels the length and breadth of the county on the trail of a group of Anglican Evangelical missionaries who took it upon themselves to come to this country to convert the Popish sinners of Ireland to their version of 'the truth'. The problem was, the year was 1853. The Great Famine had just ended. Catholic Emancipation had been granted just 24 years earlier. The Irish were in no mood to give up their Catholic faith in favour of one so intrinsically identified with the Great Oppressor.
