Companionship in Buttevant
On the old Cork-to-Dublin road in north County Cork, Buttevant has about 970 residents. The town claims to have hosted the first ever steeplechase in 1752, when Cornelius O'Callaghan and Edmund Blake raced on horseback from Buttevant church to St Leger church in Doneraile, four miles away, using the church steeples as markers. The race gave the sport its name. The original course crossed open farmland, ditches, and stone walls.
Buttevant Friary, a thirteenth-century Franciscan foundation, survives in substantial ruin near the town centre. The friary's nave, tower, and cloister fragments are among the best-preserved Franciscan remains in Munster. The town's name derives from the French Boutez en Avant (push forward), the war cry of the Barry family who held the lordship of Buttevant from the Norman period. Hotels in Mallow, eight kilometres south, accommodate companion meetings. Escortservice.com operates as a curated directory with strict editorial standards.
