Feakle lies in the remote hills of east Co Clare, the poet Brian Mac Giolla-Meidhre better known as Merriman (1757-1805) is buried in the churchyard. His most celebrated work The Midnight Court has been translated into English by the late Lord Longford, Arland Ussher, Frank O'Connor and Bowes Egan. Merryman was borne at Clondegad and was a schoolmaster at Kilclenin near Feakle.

Although his grave is not marked there is a plaque to him outside the graveyard, each year the county holds a Merriman summer and winter school.
