Old right of way for kids going to school and adults going to Church.Silly question time
Mass path??
We have one and it is marked on the deeds .Old right of way for kids going to school and adults going to Church.
You should have hired Eddie Lenihan to insist on the mass path being preserved, he could have negotiated a zebra crossing on the motorwayWe have one and it is marked on the deeds .
Motorway in the neighbors finished the mass bit .
Is the church still standing, there is a field near here known as the church field, its 45 acres or more and has a mound that once had a church, there are stiles on all the surrounding hedges that were part of the mass paths radiating out from where the church once stood, before the potato famine there were probably a lot of families living in this field in their small plots in the days of hedge schools.Old right of way for kids going to school and adults going to Church.
Only really old churches around here would C of I churches taken during penal times.Is the church still standing, there is a field near here known as the church field, its 45 acres or more and has a mound that once had a church, there are stiles on all the surrounding hedges that were part of the mass paths radiating out from where the church once stood, before the potato famine there were probably a lot of families living in this field in their small plots in the days of hedge schools.
Pushed the stone out with a railway sleeper shoved with the bucket of the digger.Doing a bit of drainage, the outlet is under an old double ditch it was a mass path.
Going to be fun trying to clear this out.

There is one through our land. Previous owner didn't remember it being used, he died 90 yrs old. A good 25 years ago. But it was on an old old map..... some idiot walking group found it next thing you know £18k was being spent on a new footbridge over the river.Rights of way lapse after 13 years without any use, so most are closed now.
This one really was only by my mother's family and she and her brothers would have been the last to use it back in the early fifties.
Our property rights are a good bit stronger than yours and enshrined in our constitution, mainly due to the land wars here.There is one through our land.

The x- years unused rule is here too. But apparently these walkers had been using the path just the year before!
Biggest joke is there was an old stone style in one wall. That was broken to put in a new one! Yet I was in breach of the rules as we had fenced over the unused path!!
Switched this on.
