The Pre-Reformation burial ground and church site of Carrick Mor (Big Carrick) features the former Protestant Church, now restored as a heritage Centre. Many interesting gravestones are to be found including a memorial to Thomas Butler (d.1604) an illegitimate son of Thomas, 10th Earl of Ormond. Buried here also is Dorothea Herbert (1770-1829), author of Retrospections. Numerous local artefacts and photographs are on display. Also on display is the 17th century Duke of Ormonde Church Plate Collection.
The Heritage Centre now houses the Tides of Time Visitor Centre. An Immersive Journey through Carrick-on-Suir’s Living History. Tides of Time offers an immersive and interactive journey through the history, voices and landscapes of Carrick-on-Suir, Co. Tipperary. Step inside the Tides of Time in the newly restored St. Nicholas’ Church of Ireland building, and encounter a remarkable collection of artefacts, photography and storytelling that reveals how the River Suir shaped the town across centuries.
More than a traditional museum, the experience blends atmosphere, sound, imagery and personal stories to explore themes of trade, migration, industry and everyday life along the river.
