- John Graham is a very good thatcher. His father had this trade and he learned it from him. He lives in Kinnity, Birr, Co Offaly. His father was also able to make bodies for big clocks, but John Graham does not make them. He can make window-frames, faces for clocks, and picture frames. I seen a face of a clock he made.
