The Ghost of Bishop Jebb
The photo is a statue of Bishop John Jebb found in the church of St Mary's Cathedral in Limerick, Ireland. Not sure if this is still a Protestant church. It may well be. Though I doubt it. After the much hated Oliver Cromwell captured Limerick, the church became a stable for the parliamentary army. The present state of the church is sad. It needs a lot of repair work but money is scarce. It is very depressing. Even the church staff we talked to looked depressed. I gave her some money for the church. She was pleasantly surprised.
As for Bishop Jebb, not much is written about him. He was made bishop of Limerick in 1882. I imagined that he probably liked to shoot pool.
