A Compendium of Irish Biography/Bunworth, Charles
Bunworth, Charles, Rev., rector of Buttevant, educated at Trinity College, (M.A. 1730), was distinguished for his patronage and knowledge of Irish music. He was a good harpist, and at the time of his decease, in 1770, possessed fifteen harps, bequeathed to him from time to time by members of the then rapidly dying-out race of minstrels, out of gratitude for his hospitality and care. He examined Curran before going up to college, and gave him assistance towards prosecuting his studies. [1]
