4. St. Patrick's Purgatory relocated within Lough Derg

   near Lough Derg · lake or lakes · Donegal · 850

   St. Patrick's Purgatory was originally on the larger island of Lough Derg but, because it was too accessible from the shore, the cave was closed and another opened on a lesser island about half a mile from shore. Some attribute the invention to St. Patrick, others more plausibly to a Patrick who was Prior around 850.

   founded, as some say, by the great Apostle of Ireland, but others give the foundation to St. Dabeoc, who was also called Mobeoc and Beonan ; he was brother to St. Canoe, who flourished about the year 492. St. Dabeoc is Patron of this church, where three Festivals are holden to his honour'yearly, on the 1st of January, 24th of July, and 16th of December. St. Dabeoc is said to have been buried in this abbey, which he made subject to the great Abbey of Armagh. It had a new Chapel, witli convenient houses for the Monks, the remains of which may yet be seen. One of the Saint Patricks was Prior here about the year 850. — Notwithstanding the reputed holiness of this celebrated monastery, it was plundered and reduced to ashes by Bratachas O'Boyle and Mac Mahon. A. D. 1207. John was Prior, in 1353. — St. Patrick's Purgatory, as it is called, was first fixed in this Island, but it being near to the shore, and a bridge from the main-land giving the people a free and easy access into it, the cave was closed up, and another was opened in a lesser Island, about half a mile from the shore. Some people have given the invention of this purgatory to the great St. Patrick, but others, with more probability, ascribe it to Patrick who was Prior here about the year 850. This purgatory continued a long time in high repute both at home and abroad. We find, in our records, several safe conducts granted by the Kings of England to foreigners desirous to visit it, and particularly in the year 1358, to Maletesta Ungarus, Knt. ; another bearing the same date, to Nicholas de Beccario, a Nobleman of Ferraria ; and, in 1397, one to Raymond, Viscount de Perilleux and Knight of Rhodes, with a train of 20 Men and 30 Horses. But this purgatory must have fallen afterwards into disrepute, for we find, that by the authority of the Pope, Alexander VI (he having considered the same in the light of imposition), it was demolished on St. Patrick's Day, in the the year 1497, by the Father Guardian of the Franciscans of Donegal, and some other persons of the Deanery, of Loughern, who were deputed for this purpose by the Bishop. A Canon of the priory of St. Dabeoc usually resided on the Island, for the service of the church and pilgrims.— The extent of this island is scarcely three quarters of an Irish acre ; the Cave of the purgatory is built of free-stone, and covered with broad flags and green turf laid over them ; in length, within the walls, it measures sixteen feet and an half, and in breadth, about two feet and an inch; when the door is shut, no light can be discovered, save what enters at a small window in the corner. In 1630, the government of Ireland thought fit to have it finally suppressed, and it was accordingly dug up, to the no small distress and loss of the Roman Catholic C\ci^y.n—ArchdairsMonaat.

   sufficient for repairing the priory, before they would repair their own dwellings which had suffered by the fire. In the year 1300, a final and amicable agreement was made between the Prior and Canons of The Holy Trinity and the Dean and Chapter of St. Patrick's Cathedral, which was strengthened by the Common Seal of each Chapter. The principal heads of it were, That the Archbishop should be consecrated and enthroned in Christ Church; that each church should be called Cathedral and Metropolitical ; that Christ Church as being the greater, the mother, and the elder church, should have the precedence in all. rights and concerns of the church; that the cross, mitre, and ring of every Archbishop, in whatever place he died, should be deposited in Christ Church; and that each church should have their turn in the interment of the bodies of their Archbishop, unless otherwise ordered by their wills. In 1538, St. Patrick's Stpjf, that was brought hither from Armagh, as a relique of high estimation, was publicly committed to the flames. The Prior of the Holy Trinity always sat as a Baron in Parliament. In 1541, King Henry the Eighth, by Letters Patent, dated the 10th of May, changed the Priory into a Dean and Chapter, confirming their ancient estates and immunities, and made Payneswick, who was the last Prior, the first Dean ; but it is to be remarked, that in some leases of lands, dated the 4th of Der cember 1540, he is named Dean. — In the year 1 146, Dermot, the son of Murchard, King of Leinster, founded an Abbey, for Nuns following the Rule of St. Augustin, in a village called Tlogges, adjoining the East end of the City of Dublin, and near the present church of St. Andrew. No women were admitted into this house, till they were past the age of thirty years. — It is supposed, that the Knights Templars had a Priory in a place, called Casgot, in the South suburbs of the city ; and that Walter de Fernsfield was a great benefactor to it. Probably this is the place, where now stands the palace of the Archbishop, in St. Kevin's Street. —The Nunnery of St. Mary les Dames was situated without the East gate of the city, which from thence was called, The Gate of St. Mary les Dames, and the avenue leading from the Castle to the University acquired the name of Dame Street. In 148?, the person, called Lambert Simnell, being supported by divers of the Nobility, was crowned King in the Priory of The Holy Trinity, by the name of Edward; the crown made use of, on this occasion, was borrowed from the statue of the Blessed Virgin, which stood in the church of this Nunnery. — King Henry the Second having granted the City of Dublin to a Colony from Bristol, they built the Abbey of St. Olave for such of their countrymen as should be inclined to embrace the order of St, Augustin, and called it from the abbey of the same order and name in their native town. — Very little is known of the monastery of Witeschan.— The Priory of All Hallows, or All Saints, was situated on Hoggin-Green, now called College-Green, and was founded about the year 1 166, for Canons of the Order of Aroasia, by Diarmit, the son of Murchard, King of Leinster.

On the West end of this church are some figures in alto relievo, in free-stone, venerable for their antiquity, viz., Adam and Eve, with the tree and serpent, the judgment of Solomon, &c.

    Kilkenny is by a Ferry, an inconvenience to which the great depth and breadth of the river has hitherto compelled the inhabitants to submit. This city is about twelve miles distant from the Sea: The harbour runs almost twelve miles up the country, nearly in a straight line, and is all the way deep and clear. Here arc several Charity Schools, and Humane Foundations, well supported: Many of the public edifices are extremely elegant : The private dwellings are generally modern, and with the other improvements of the city, keep pace with the increase of its opulence. It gives title of Viscount to the family of Lumley, that of Earl to the family of Talbot, and thatof Marquess to the Earl of Tyrone. The See of Waterford (which is valued in the King's Books at <£72. .8.. 1 Irish Money,) was united, according to Dr. Beaufort, in the year 1536, to the See of Lisrnore : The Bishoprick of Lismore had been founded in the beginning of the Seventh century ; but that of Waterford was not established until the Eleventh, when the Ostmen or Danes settled on the Irish Coast. This very small Diocese is confined to the Eastern part of the County of Waterford, and does not extend above 10 miles in length, and 7 miles m breadth. But the Diocese of Lismore is 30 miles long, and about 29 miles broad, including the greatest part of the County of Waterford, and a considerable portion of that of Tipperary.

This Hospital must have been erected before the Benedictine Abbey, for John Earl of Morton, in his Charter to that Abbey, confirmed the Leper-House to the Poor of the City.— John Earl of Morton arrived in Waterford, A. D. 1 185, when he founded the Priory of St. John the Evangelist in the suburbs of the City, for Monks of the Order of St, Benedict, and confirmed to them the lands of Ballyowedin. In the Charter he calls it his Aims-House, and makes it a Cell to the Abbey of St. Peter and St. Paul in the City of Bath, Somersetshire. Peter de Fonte was a munificent Benefactor to this House.— The Friars Preachers, or Dominicans, were introduced into this city, A. D. 1226.
