Clonfeacle Parish Church
Clonfeacle Parish Church
Benburb,Tyrone
Clonfeacle parish church (1618), outside the priory gates, is one of the oldest churches in regular use in the province. Basically a hall(the belfry tower was added in 1892), the church has a seventeenth century font and bell, and a monument to Captain James Hamilton. Hamilton was one of 3000 Scots killed at the battle of Benburb in 1646. Led by Major General Robert Monroe, the Scots were routed in a disastrous encounter with Owen Roe O'Neill, charismatic nephew of the great Hugh O'Neill. The Ir...
Burriscarra Churches
Burriscarra Churches
Mayo,Mayo
An Abbey or Priory of the Carmelites was founded here in 1298 probably by Adam de Staunton of Castlecarra. It is the lower down of two churches in the field and has some 13th century niches, though much of the church was rebuilt in the 15th century when the present windows were inserted and the domestic buildings added. It became Augustinian in 1413 and was burned in 1430. further up the field, in the graveyard, is a 14th century parish church with the lower part of the walls sloping outwards...

Whitefriar Street Carmelite Church Saint Valentine

The Old Church Kilkeel
The Old Church Kilkeel
Kilkeel,Down
Dates back to the 14th Century and is where the name 'Kilkeel' originates, translated as 'Church of the Narrows'. The Church, dedicated to St.Colman, was once the principal Church for the area. The ruined Church and Cemetery both stand in a Rath in the centre of Kilkeel town....
Rathmichael Church
Rathmichael Church
Dublin 1,Dublin
It was possibly St. Comgall of Bangor who founded the first monastery here. The present nave-and-chancel church may have been built or re-built as late as the 16th century, but it incorporates part of an earlier church. Attached to the south wall of the church are a number of unusual Early Christian decorated slabs.
Near the south-west end of the church is the stump of a Round Tower. Remains of the old monastic stone wall surround the graveyard.
In a laneway leading down fr...
Seven Churches
Seven Churches
Aran Islands,Galway
Situated 3km north-west of Kilmurvey, the miscalled - Seven Churches - mark an ancient site dedicated to Saint Breacan. The name is loosely applied to the remains of two small churches, Teampall Bhreacain and Teampaill an Phoill. Close to the churches, on the south-west, is Leaba an Spioraid Naoimh (bed of the Holy Spirit), a penitential station with fragments of a figured high cross. Nearby, to the south-east, is Leaba Bhreacain, another station.

Kinsale Church
Kinsale Church
Kinsale,Cork
In the 17th and 18th centuries Kinsale was an important English naval base. This is reflected in the architecture of the town which, with its 18th century flavour and a whiff of the distant southern shores reached by its mariners, makes Kinsale into the town with what, in my opinion, is the most individual character in the country. In the town and its surroundings are some interesting monuments. St. Multose Church: The present Church of Ireland Parish church, founded probably by de Cogan...
