Whispering Stones

"The Great Lord’s Shadow: Whispers from Frenchpark"


Listen Later

Synopsis:


In this haunting episode of Season Four, Whispering Stones travels to Frenchpark, County Roscommon — once the domain of the mighty French family, Barons de Freyne.


From the grand red-brick elegance of French Park to the ruined tower of Cloonshanville Priory, we trace the rise and quiet fall of a dynasty carved into the land and lore of Ireland.

Discover how fox hunts, politics, and the Irish Land Acts shaped the fate of a once-vast estate — and why almost nothing remains today but whispers in the grass and stones underfoot.
