Ashton School

Ashton School is a co-educational Church of Ireland secondary school situated in Cork, Ireland. It was founded in 1972, following the merger of the Cork Grammar School and Rochelle School. As of 2017, Ashton School had over 500 pupils. Formation Cork Grammar School was a Church of Ireland grammar school for boys. Founded in 1881, it was originally based in Sydney Place in Cork city, and intended to offer an alternative to parents "who had been sending their children to England, to educate them". The school ultimately acquired Ashton House (a large 19th-century house on the Blackrock Road) and moved to the new site in 1956. Rochelle School was a predominantly Church of Ireland preparatory school for girls. Founded in 1829, it was originally based at Cook Street and South Terrace, before moving to Rochelle House (a large house also on the road to Blackrock) in 1863. Cork Grammar School (boys; 1880s-1970s) and Rochelle School (girls; 1820s-1970s) operated as separate schools until 1972, when they merged. The newly amalgamated co-educational school occupied the Ashton House site, from which its current name was taken. Rochelle House was used for boarding accommodation for a period, before being sold in 1999. Between 2013 and 2015, additional facilities were developed at the school, and the original Georgian-era building was refurbished. Alumni Alumni of Ashton (and, prior to their merger, of Cork Grammar School and Rochelle School) have included: Herbert Cassidy, Dean of Armagh Paul Colton, academic in law and Bishop of Cork, Cloyne and Ross Mary Elmes, humanitarian activist Ken Good, Bishop of Derry and Raphoe Peter Foott, film director, producer and screenwriter Robert Hilliard, boxer for Ireland at the 1924 Olympics, minister at St Anne's Cathedral, Belfast, and volunteer during the Spanish Civil War John Jermyn, Ireland field hockey international who represented Ireland at the 2016 Summer Olympics Henry McAdoo, Archbishop of Dublin Noel Moffett, architect and educator Pat O'Hara, former flanker for the Ireland national rugby union team.

Clonkeen Church

Clonkeen Church is a medieval church and a National Monument in County Limerick, Ireland. Location The church is located on the R506 road, near Barringtonsbridge approximately 6 km (3.7 mi) southeast of Annacotty, north of the River Mulkear. History A monastery was founded here by Saint Mo-Diomog (feast day 10 December) in the 6th or 7th century. The present church dates to the mid-12th century (based on its similarity to Aghadoe Cathedral, dated to 1158). The church was ruined by 1657. Church Clonkeen Church is a small rectangular church with antae at the east and west ends. The west part of the church, incorporating the west doorway is Romanesque, built of roughly coursed large stones, mostly sandstone.

Inch Fort

Inch Fort, Lough Swilly, Inishowen, County Donegal was built between 1812 and 1813, during the Napoleonic Wars. It had positions for nine guns, six in an open battery and a further three in a blockhouse. Following the peace in 1815, the defences of Lough Swilly were neglected. During the 1880s a scheme to strengthen the defences in Lough Swilly was put into effect. By 1893 Inch Fort had been rearmed with two 6-inch guns on hydropneumatic carriages. A small barrack complex was added at the same time. Following recommendations of the Owen Committee in 1905, the guns were deemed surplus and the fort was disarmed and abandoned. Today the site includes the two 6-inch gun positions and associated magazines, but the Napoleonic blockhouse was mostly demolished during the 1890s remodelling. Further reading Col. K. W.

Knockalla Fort

Knockalla Fort is one of several Napoleonic batteries built along the shores of Lough Swilly in county Donegal, to defend the north west of Ireland. It was part of a scheme to fortify Lough Swilly and Lough Foyle against French Invasion during the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars and was completed between 1812 and 1813. On the other side of the Lough is Fort Dunree. The fort was built on the site of a temporary fortification first built in 1798. It is triangular in shape with a tower on the landward salient angle. From the tower, the two walls of the fort, protected by a dry moat partly cut into the rock, lead down to the edge of steep rocky cliffs, where there are batteries on two levels. The lower battery with seven gun emplacements, originally mounted French 42 Pounder smooth bore guns on traversing platforms. The upper level contains barrack accommodation, magazine, casemates, entrance gateway and an upper battery for two 24 Pounder smooth bore guns on the northern flank of this level. The tower is quadrant-shaped in plan with corners rounded off and was armed with a 24 Pounder gun and a 5.5-inch howitzer. After the end of the Napoleonic Wars the defences were neglected and not updated. By the 1860s the Fort was armed with an 18 Pounder gun and 5.5-inch howitzer in the tower. The upper battery had a 24 pounder gun. By this time the Fort was obsolete and was disarmed and abandoned by the military in the 1870s. The fort remains substantially intact, and is now in use as a private residence. See also Martello tower References Publications Paul M. Kerrigan (1995).

Newman University Church

The Church of Our Lady Seat of Wisdom, also known as Newman University Church or Catholic University Church, is a Catholic church in Dublin, Ireland. History Groundbreaking took place on the site of the gardens of 87 St Stephen's Green in May 1855. It was founded by John Henry Newman for the newly founded Catholic University of Ireland, and designed by John Hungerford Pollen (senior) in a Byzantine Revival style, due to Newman's dislike of Gothic architecture. It was consecrated on Ascension Day (1 May) 1856. On 4 May (Saint Monica's Day), Newman preached in his sermon the essential place of the church in his plans for the university: "I wish in the same spots and the same individuals to be at once oracles of philosophy and shrines of devotion. [...] Devotion is not a sort of finish given to the sciences; nor is science a sort of feather in the cap." The Lady Chapel was added to the church in 1875. In 1907 it was the site of the funeral of the Fenian James Bermingham. During the 1916 Easter Rising British soldiers established a machine-gun post on the roof of the church. Future Taoiseach John A. Costello married Ida Mary O'Malley in the church in 1919. Since 2016, the church has been stewarded by the University of Notre Dame, which uses the church as a base for the Notre Dame–Newman Center for Faith and Reason; regular masses are still held there. Church The church is accessed by a Romanesque porch in polychromatic brick, with a belfry suspended over it. There is then an atrium leading into the ante-church, nave and sanctuary. The interior is richly decorated with a baldacchino over the altar. The semi-dome above the sanctuary was inspired by the apse of the Basilica of San Clemente al Laterano, Rome. There is also an arcaded gallery with screens and an elaborate pulpit. The walls are decorated with marble and serpentine from many parts of Ireland. The empty undercroft represents the empty tomb, just as at Westminster Cathedral. References External links Official site
Belfast Boys' Model School

Belfast Boys' Model School (formerly Belfast Model School or Belfast District Model School) is a boys only secondary school in Belfast, Northern Ireland. History During its long history, the Belfast Model School has been located on three sites: Divis Street 1857–1922 Cliftonville Road 1922–1954 Ballysillan Road (boys) since 1957 Building of the Belfast District Model School began in Divis Street in 1854, on a 100-acre tract of land leased by the Commissioners of Education in Ireland, and the school was opened on 19 May 1857. It was to be a model for all other schools in the district, and the thirteenth of its kind. On 22 December 1879, John Perry, president of the Institution of Electrical Engineers, highlighted the Belfast Model as an example to be followed in a proposed reform of technical education in England. During riots and arson attacks surrounding the consideration of the Anglo-Irish Treaty in May 1922, the Divis Street premises were burned down. Premises were purchased in Cliftonville Road and classes resumed in Cliftonville Lodge, until a new building was opened in 1937. The Belfast Model remained on Cliftonville Road until implementation in 1954 of the Tripartite System, under the Education Act (Northern Ireland) 1947, caused the school to split into separate boys' and girls' schools. The Belfast Boys' Model School began operations in Ballysillan Road in 1957, while the Cliftonville Road premises became the site of present-day Cliftonville Integrated Primary School.

Belle Isle Castle

Belle Isle Castle ist ein Schloss auf Belle Island beim Dorf Lisbellaw im nordirischen County Fermanagh. Das Anwesen erstreckt sich über 190 Hektar. Belle Isle Castle entstand Anfang des 17. Jahrhunderts als einzelnes Haus, wurde aber seither erweitert und vollständig restauriert. Es dient heute als Touristenattraktion, Hotel und wird für Hochzeiten genutzt. Dort findet sich auch eine Kochschule. Seit Anfang des 17. Jahrhunderts gehörte das Anwesen verschiedenen Adligen – darunter Ralph Gore, 1. Earl of Ross –, die es auch bewohnten und erweiterten. Das Anwesen war stets öffentlich zugänglich, seit 1760 dort die ersten Veranstaltungen stattfanden. 1991 wurde das Schloss vollständig restauriert, damit es noch mehr Besucher besichtigen können. Im Schloss findet sich eine Galerie, ein Aussichtsturm, ein Schlosshof und eine Banketthalle. In der Remise und in verschiedenen Bauernhöfen auf dem Anwesen wurden Übernachtungsmöglichkeiten geschaffen, die den Gästen alle einzigartige Räume in unterschiedlichen Stilen bieten. Auf dem Anwesen finden sich englische und irische Innenausstattungen, ein offener Kamin, Arbeiten von russischen, irischen und englischen Malern und ein Panoramafenster zum Garten, das vom Boden bis zur Decke reicht und bereits im 18. Jahrhundert installiert wurde. Geschichte Belle Isle Castle wurde um 1700 im Auftrag von Sir Ralph Gore, 4. Baronet, als Einzelhaus erstellt und von ihm auch bewohnt, nachdem sein Großvater, Sir Paul Gore, 1. Baronet, Belle Island erworben hatte. Sir Ralph Gore, 6. Baronet, der Enkel des Erbauers, wurde 1725 in diesem Haus geboren und ließ es Zeit seines Lebens erweitern, indem er Bauernhöfe und den Turm hinzufügen und mit Hilfe des Architekten Thomas Wright den großartigen Garten anlagen ließ, der sich über das Anwesen bis zum Ufer des Lough Erne erstreckt. Nach Gores Tod 1801 fiel das nun erweiterte Schloss an sein einzig überlebendes Kind, Lady Mary Hardinge, der Gattin von Sir Richard Hardinge, 1. Baronet. Nach Lady Hardinges Tod 1824 und dem Tod ihres Gatten zwei Jahre später erbte der Neffe des Paares, Rev. Sir Charles Hardinge, 2. Baronet aus Tonbridge in Kent das Schloss, hatte aber kein Interesse daran. 1830 verkaufte er das Anwesen für £ 68000 an Rev. John Grey Porter aus Kilskeery, dessen Nachkommen es bis 1991 in ihrem Besitz hatten. In dieser Zeit ließen die Porters das Schloss nochmals erweitern, indem sie etliche Büroflügel und Bauernhöfe hinzufügen ließen. 1991 verkaufte ein Nachkomme der Porters, Miss Lavinia Baird, das Anwesen an James Hamilton, 5. Duke of Abercorn, der es für seinen jüngsten Sohn, Lord Nicholas Hamilton kaufte. Die Familie Hamilton machte das Schloss zur Touristenattraktion, die es heute ist. Anwesen Hinter dem Schloss öffnete 2004 die Belle Isle Cookery School, die erste moderne Kochschule Nordirlands, ihre Pforten. Außerdem gibt es für die Gäste Möglichkeiten zum Schießen, Segeln und Wandern auf dem Anwesen. Einzelnachweise
Belle Isle Castle

Belle Isle Castle is an 18th-century house on Belle Isle, an island previously known, in Gaelic times, as Ballymacmanus Island or Senadh-Mic-Maghnusa or, simply, Senad. The Belle Isle Estate stretches over 470-acres near Lisbellaw in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. History Belle Isle Castle originated as a house, first built and inhabited by Sir Ralph Gore, 4th Bt., in about 1700, after his grandfather Sir Paul Gore came into possession of Belle Island. Sir Ralph Gore's grandson, General The 1st Earl of Ross, was born in the house in 1725 and throughout his life further expanded it, adding cottages, a tower, and with the help of designer Thomas Wright, together created the magnificent garden that surrounds the estate and extends to the Lough Erne shore. Upon Lord Ross's death in 1801, the now expanded castle was left to his only surviving child, Lady Mary Hardinge, wife of Sir Richard Hardinge, 1st Baronet. After Lady Hardinge's death in 1824, and her husband's death two years later, the estate was left to the nephew of Hardinge, The Rev. Sir Charles Hardinge, 2nd Baronet, of Tonbridge, Kent, whom deemed no interest in owning the castle. In 1830, he sold the estate for £68,000 to The Rev. John Grey Porter of Kilskeery, whose descendants owned the property up until 1991. During the ownership, the Porters worked to further expand the castle, adding various office wings and cottage houses. In 1991, Porter descendant Miss Lavinia Baird sold the estate to The 5th Duke of Abercorn, who purchased the estate for his youngest son, Lord Nicholas Hamilton. In 1991, Belle Isle Castle was expanded and refurbished and is now a hotel and wedding venue. The estate has welcomed the public since 1760 when it began hosting events. The building The castle contains a gallery, an overlook tower, a courtyard, and a grand banquet hall. It also has coach houses and cottages, now used as guest rooms. There are English and Irish furnishings, a grand fireplace, works by Russian, Irish and English painters, and floor-to-ceiling windows that overlook the garden, established in the 18th century. Grounds Situated behind the castle, the Belle Isle Cookery School opened in 2004. Also on the grounds are activities available to guests that include shooting, sailing, and hiking. Since 2018, pine martens were reintroduced, in order to aid with population control of the grey squirrel. See also Castles in Northern Ireland References

У замку є старовинні меблі ірландських та англійських майстрів, великий камін, художньо зроблені вікна і стелі, з вікон відкривається вид на парк, що був закладений в XVIII столітті. Історія замку Белл Айсл Замок Белл Айсл був перебудований на комфортабельний особняк для житла приблизно у 1700 році. Здійснив це сер Ральф Гор — IV баронет Гор. Його дід — Пол Гор колись отримав у володіння острів Белл. Онук сера Ральфа Гора, що теж мав ім'я Ральф Гор народився в цьому замку в 1725 році. Протягом всього свого життя він розширював, добудовував і вдосконалював замок, добудовував котеджі, вежі, використовував розробки дизайнера Томаса Райта, заклав чудовий сад і парк, який оточує замок і досягає берегів озера Лох-Ерн. Після смерті Ральфа Гора в 1801 році, замок успадкувала єдина його дочка, що вижила — леді Мері Гардіндж — дружина сера Річарда Гардінджа — І баронета Гардиндж. Після смерті леді Гардиндж в 1824 році, і смерті її чоловіка два роки по тому, маєток успадкував її племінник — сер Чарльз Гардиндж — ІІ баронет Гардиндж з Тонбридж Кента. Замок його абсолютно не цікавив. У 1830 році він продав маєток і замок за £ 68 000 Джону Грею Портеру Кілскірі. Його нащадки володіли замком аж до 1991 року.

Bellinter House

Bellinter House is a large classic country house of Georgian heritage which, in the early 21st century, was renovated and opened as a hotel and spa. It is in 12 acres of parkland beside the River Boyne in County Meath, Ireland, approximately 10 km (6 miles) from Navan. Bellinter House takes its name from the townland of Ballinter (Irish: Baile an tSaoir). History The lands and property seem to have come into the ownership of John Preston and family in 1743 upon the death of Charles Ford unmarried in London. Bellinter House was designed in 1750 by Richard Castle as a country house for wealthy Dublin brewer John Preston in an estate of around 600 acres of grazing and woodland. John had inherited much lands and wealth from his father John Preston, a former Lord Mayor of Dublin. It was to be Castle's last commission before his death in 1751. After John Preston's death the estate passed to John's grandson, John Preston, 1st Baron Tara, Member of Parliament for Navan for 17 years, who died in 1821. In 1892 the property was bequeathed by John Joseph Preston to Gustavus Briscoe, a family friend and High Sheriff of Meath in 1897, who once rode a horse up the stairs at Bellinter which then refused to come down and had to be winched down three weeks later. In 1907 the property passed to his son Cecil and then George, who in 1955 sold it to the Holdsworth family. It was the residence of the Holdsworth family from 1957 to 1966, when it came into the control of the Land Commission, who sold off most of the land for farming. After being left vacant for a time, the house itself, with 12 acres of land, became home to the Sisters of Sion in 1965. In 2004 it was sold and refurbished into a hotel by publicans and hoteliers Jay Bourke and John Reynolds for €2.3m. It opened in late 2006 after a reputed €16m renovation project. In 2016, the house was acquired for €3m by Broadreach Investments, an investment vehicle majority owned by Barry O'Sullivan. In 2024, the house was again sold on to Hotels Properties under the direction of Sheila O'Riordan. Buildings The house was built in a Palladian style with six bays built over three floors (including basement) made of coarse rubble with fine limestone dressings. Adjoining the main part of the building and connected by single story arcades are two storey wings, creating a courtyard. In the grounds are stable block, ice house and other outbuildings. The distinguishing feature of the house is its tripartite doorcase in the manner of John Vanburgh. See also Ardbraccan House References
Capella reial de Dublín

La Capella reial (anglès: Chapel Royal; irlandès: Séipéal Ríoga) del Castell de Dublín, ara Església de la Santíssima Trinitat (anglès: Church of the Most Holy Trinity), era la capella anglicana oficial de la casa del Lord tinent d'Irlanda des de l'edat mitjana fins a la creació de l'Estat Lliure d'Irlanda el 1922. La creació del nou estat irlandès va fer que desaparegués el càrrec de Senyor Tinent i el govern britànic a Irlanda, que havia tingut la seva seu al Castell de Dublín. El temple, d'estil neogòtic, va ser dissenyat per Francis Johnston (1760-1829), el més destacat arquitecte que va treballar a Irlanda a començaments del segle xix, i arquitecte del Board of Works. La capella conté un dels millors interiors gòtics recuperats d'Irlanda. Substituint una mediocre església anterior del segle xviii que tenia problemes estructurals en haver estat construïda al costat de l'original castell de mota feudal, la nova Capella reial va ser construïda fent servir un bastiment de bigues el més lleuger possible. Tan complicada era la natura del lloc, que les obres van trigar set anys: van començar el 1807 i van ser completades amb retard el 1814. Les despeses també van ser superiors a les previstes. Totes les voltes i columnes van ser fetes amb escaiola sobre fusta i pintades per donar l'efecte que es tracta de pedra. L'exterior està revestit amb una fina capa de pedra calcària i mostra molts caps gravats en la pedra. Cada vegada que un Senyor Tinent deixava el càrrec, el seu escut d'armes era afegit en una de les finestres de la capella. Així, a |la capella es conserven tots els escuts dels Lord tinents d'Irlanda des del segle xii. Els nacionalistes irlandesos anoten que l'última finestra disponible va ser ocupada per l'home que va ser l'últim Senyor Tinent, Edmund FitzAlan-Howard, 1r Vescomte FitzAlan de Derwent. El 1943, l'antiga església anglicana es va convertir en una església catòlica amb el nom d'Església de la Santíssima Trinitat. Encara que l'església continua estant consagrada, ja no se celebren misses ni oficis religiosos. Va ser restaurada fins a aconseguir que tingués un aspecte similar al que tenia al segle xix.
