In his virtual tour of Waterford Treasures on WLR’s Big Breakfast Blaa, Eamonn McEneaney tells Ollie and Mary all about 750 year old amber prayer beads that tell us how people in Waterford prayed in the middle ages, and how prosperous merchants imported luxury prayer beads to help them count the prayers they recited.
If you enjoy Eamonn’s slots with us on The Big Breakfast Blaa, listen here to what he had to say about the earliest drawing of Waterford dated to 1591 showing Mrs Sherlock’s Abbey and the stone walls and towers of the town defences from Reginald’s Tower to the Watch Tower at John’s Bridge/ Railway Square.
