LOCATION:Talbot's Inch is a model village behind its surround stone wall on the main Freshford road approximately one mile from Kilkenny City. The village was built in 1906 and it was originally in the country, but the town has grown out to meet it. The village was promoted and developed by International philanthropist and local resident the Countess of Desert (Lady Ellen Odette Bischoffsheim) heiress to a wealthy Germanic banking family and one of the wealthiest women in Europe at the time. She commissioned leading Architect W.A. Scott to design the village in the English Arts and Crafts garden city style.
