The Bunworth Harp - Drawing from 1936

"Clergyman Reverend Charles Bunworth rector in Buttervant, Cork supported minstrels and harpists in the 1730s. “Mr Bunworth was a rector of Buttervant, in the county of Cork, and the maternal great grandfather of the chronicler of the ‘fairy legends of South of Ireland’ who has related in connection with his ancestor’s name a very remarkable anecdote respecting the supernatural appearance of the banshee at the time of Mr. Bunworth’s death. It probably originated in the fancy of some of the wandering minstrels, whom he appears, from motives of Christin charity to have relieved and befriended. There is Engraved harp which was made by John Kelly and is in the possession of T. Crofton Croker in Fulham. "
