St Senan's Church, Inniscarra

St Senan's Church is a small Anglican Gothic Revival church located in Inniscarra, County Cork, Ireland. It is dedicated to Senán mac Geirrcinn, who is the patron saint of Inniscarra. Along with the Church of Saint Peter in Carrigrohane and the Church of the Resurrection in Blarney, it is part of the Carrigrohane Union of Parishes in the Diocese of Cork, Cloyne, and Ross. Old church The church was built to replace an earlier church nearby. This early church was built in the Early Georgian period, with a tower being added in 1756 by the Church of Ireland rector after the building was confiscated from the Catholic Church. It was abandoned after the construction of St Senan's, and is now a ruin. It sits on the site of a 6th-century church founded by St Senan. The original site selected by the monk was then called Tuaim nAba, and was situated between three River Lee channels which many centuries later were made into one during the construction of the Ballincollig Royal Gunpowder Mills. The place currently referred to the Inniscarra Graveyard, or just St. Senan's, was first a monastery, founded by St. Senan in 523 or 530. The settlement consisted of a number of monastic huts. The St Senan's church was built later, and changed hands between Catholics and Protestants. One of the notable persons buried in the graveyard was Thomas Tobin, a British merchant who played an important role in the history of the nearby Ballincollig. The graveyard, with separately designated protestant section, is not used as an active burial place anymore due to the lack of space, but is still a frequent day-trip destination due to its picturesque location by River Lee's turn. Rowing and rafting competitions have often had their starting point at that spot of the river. With the site being distanced from the road and village, there are frequent garbage dumping incidents there. New church St Senan's was built in 1819, at a cost of IR£923. The Board of First Fruits supplied the loan. The bell from the original church currently hangs in the new building. Reverend George de la Poer Beresford was the first rector of the church. He was succeeded by his son, Reverend William Beresford, who was eventually stripped of his position by the Archbishop of Dublin and deported to Australia. The interior was refitted by William Henry Hill in 1873. A chancel, also designed by Hill, was added to the building between 1892 and 1893. In 1994, the 125-year-old organ from Christ Church, Magourney, was transferred to St Senan's after Christ Church was deconsecrated. The organ was restored to working order. In 2012, the church was extended to include what is referred to as "the Glade". Robert Ferris became the rector of the parish in 2020, having been Associate Minister there for eight years prior to his promotion. Architecture St Senan's was designed by George Beale, and is built in the Gothic Revival style. References Notes Sources
Holy Trinity Church, Rathclaren

Holy Trinity Church is a small Anglican church located in Rathclaren, County Cork, Ireland. It was completed in roughly 1650. It is dedicated to the Holy Trinity. It is part of the Bandon Union of Parishes in the Diocese of Cork, Cloyne, and Ross. History The church either the third and or possibly the fourth church to have served the parish of Rathclaren, with the earliest church dating to at least 1291. There a ruins of the foundation of a middle age church opposite the road from Holy Trinity Church. The parish, originally Roman Catholic, was reformed in the late 1500s. The current church was built sometime around 1650. Significant work was carried out on the building in 1835, with help from a grant given by the Ecclesiastical Commissioners. A large tower was added in the 19th century. The current ceiling of the church was installed in the 1930s, while at the same time the wooden frames that surrounded the round-headed windows were replaced with concrete plate tracery. Architecture The church has a mixed architectural style, primarily of neoclassicism and Venetian Gothic Revivalism, along with some elements of Hiberno-Romanesque revival architecture. The main body of the church is built in the classical style, the windows are not original to the building and have neo-gothic elements, whilst the belfry is designed in the Hiberno-Romanesque style. The building's lychgate entrance is considered unusual, and is associated with the English style of church building. In 1876, Ludlow Sealy gifted the church a clock which is now installed in the tower. The tower was rebuilt that same year, adding the coloured brick dressings and angle buttresses to the tower, along with the clock. A ring of ten tubular bells are hung in the tower. Installed in 1896, they were installed in memory of members of the Sealy family. The church features a memorial to Colonel Sampson Stawell, who died in 1849. It comprises a marble plaque flanked by soldiers, and was made by Thomas Gaffin. Notable clergy members Edward Synge served as rector of the parish in the late 1600s, and later became the Archbishop of Tuam in 1716. Upon being made the Bishop of Raphoe in 1714, Synge donated a silver communion chalice to Rathclaren church. Richard Clarke served as rector of the parish from 1984 to 1993, before being made the Dean of Cork. In 1996 he was promoted to Bishop of Meath and Kildare. References Notes Sources
The Altar Church

The Altar Church, or The Church of The Poor (Irish: Teampol na mBocht), is a small Church of Ireland church in Toormore village in County Cork in Ireland. The church was built in 1847 as a famine relief effort to support the local poor. The initiative was led by the Rev. William Allen Fisher, a local priest and landowner (who later in 1876 was registered as owning 257 acres of land worth 75 pounds and 10 shillings), and it was him who gave the church the name "The Church of the Poor". The church was known under multiple names, including the Poor Man's Church, Teampol na Muck (Church of the Pigs), Fisher's Church and most recently Altar Church. It was also the only Church of Ireland church with an official Irish name (Teampol na mBocht). It has never been established if the support from Rev. Fisher was a genuine act of relief to the locals in the times of the Great Hunger, an act of souperism to gain new followers to the Church of Ireland from among the local Catholic community, or a mix of both. Regardless of motives, it is known that all work on the church was done by hand, including carrying of locally quarried stones, to promote the poorest and exclude from the effort the "stronger" farmers who owned horses and carts. It is also agreed that the pastor managed to convert as many as five hundred people to Protestantism. The church's certain unusual architectural features are attributed to the unqualified workforce used in its construction. Door and window openings have straight triangular, rather than arch, tops; while the walls are rendered with plain smooth rendering. Triangular shapes dominate both the exterior and the interior of the church. There is also a mediaeval baptismal font inside. In 1947, a special service was held to mark the centenary of the church, with a large congregation and clergy attending, including Robert Hearn, the Bishop of Cork, Cloyne and Ross. Still before the ceremony, the church had been redecorated, and during the anniversary a new door gifted from the U.S. was dedicated by the bishop. In 1997, 150th anniversary was celebrated with Robert Warke, the Bishop of Cork, Cloyne and Ross, visiting, and concerts and talks centered around the subject of famine taking place. In early 2000s, the area around the church was furnished with public lighting. References
City Hall, Limerick

City Hall (Irish: Halla na Cathrach, Luimneach) is a municipal facility at Merchant's Quay, Limerick, Ireland. It is the administrative centre of Limerick City and County Council. History City Hall was commissioned to replace the Commercial Buildings in Patrick Street which dated from 1805 and had served as the town hall from 1847. In the mid-1980s, the council leaders at Limerick Corporation decided that the council needed larger premises; the site they selected at Merchant's Quay had been occupied by an old jail which dated from 1789. The complex had ceased to be used for custodial purposes in the 19th century and had served as Geary's Biscuit Factory since the 1920s. Most of the old buildings were demolished in 1988, although the surviving façade of the old jail, designed by John Nash, was retained as part of the new development. The new building was designed by the Dublin-based firm, Burke-Kennedy Doyle, in the Modern style, built in stone blocks and was completed in 1990. The design involved an asymmetric main frontage facing onto the banks of the River Shannon. The complex featured a series of connected pavilions up to three storeys high. A fountain entitled the "Fountain of Heritage", incorporating a sculpture of wild geese by the American sculptor, William H. Turner, was paid for by the people of Spokane, Washington and installed on the Riverside Walk outside City Hall in 1991. The scuplture was intended to commemorate local families that were forced to flee the city to France in the "Flight of the Wild Geese" following the Siege of Limerick and the defeat of the Irish Jacobite army under the command of Patrick Sarsfield in 1691. In January 2018, a book of condolence was opened at City Hall, following the death of locally-born singer Dolores O'Riordan. References

Borris House

Borris House is an Irish country house near Borris, County Carlow. It is the ancestral home of the McMorrough-Kavanagh family. History Borris House was constructed in Tudor style in 1731 by Morgan Kavanagh of the MacMurrough Kavanagh dynasty. During the Irish Rebellion of 1798, the house was regularly attacked by Irish republican rebels. The first attack occurred on 24 May 1798 when 5,000 rebels attacked the house. It was defended by a Borris yeomanry unit commanded by Walter Kavanagh, which repelled the attack with 50 casualties. A further attack on 12 June was aimed at the houses of the yeomanry as well though this time the yeomanry were backed up by soldiers from the Prince of Wales's Own Donegal Militia. The rebels fired a howitzer at the house and caused damage to the walls but were unable to break them down and were obliged to retreat. It was restored in 1820 by the architects Richard and William Vitruvius Morrison. During the Great Famine, Lady Harriet Kavanagh opened up Borris House as a lacemaking factory to provide employment for the women of Borris. She also regularly travelled across Europe, Egypt and the Near East collecting art and antiques as she painted watercolours that continue to hang in Borris House. Though most of the antiques were later handed over for display at the National Museum of Ireland. When Arthur MacMurrough Kavanagh inherited Borris House, despite being born without arms and legs, focussed on redeveloping the estate and village to benefit his tenants as well as constructing the Borris Railway Viaduct. In the 21st century, Borris House hosts an annual literary festival that is occasionally attended by the President of Ireland. It is still the private residence of the McMorrough Kavanagh's but it occasionally opens for tours.

Cavan Town Hall

Cavan Town Hall (Irish: Halla an Bhaile An Cabhán) is a municipal building in Town Hall Street, Cavan, County Cavan, Ireland. The building accommodated the offices of Cavan Town Council until 2014 but is now used as a local arts centre. History The building was commissioned by Cavan Urban District Council in the early 20th century. The site they selected had been occupied by a 14th-century Franciscan Friary, known as St Mary's Abbey, and the land was donated to the council by the local lord of the manor, Arthur Maxwell, 11th Baron Farnham. The foundation stone was laid by Henrietta Smith, wife of the chairman of the council, Louis Patrick Frederick Smith, in November 1908. It was designed by William Alphonsus Scott in the Arts and Crafts style, and built by William O'Callaghan & Son at a cost of £2,688 using sandstone from a quarry at Latt, on the northern edge of Cavan Town, with the original slates coming from near Carrick-on-Suir in County Tipperary. It was officially opened by Henrietta Smith on 19 January 1910. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage of seven bays facing onto Town Hall Street. The central section of three bays, which was slightly projected forward, featured a wide segmental headed opening on the ground floor, a segmental headed multi-pane French door fronted by a balcony and surmounted by an arch on the first floor, a four-partite multi-pane window on the second floor and a gable and chimney above. The outer bays of the central section contained narrow multi-pane windows on all three floors, with a cornice above, flanked by full-height pilasters. The wings contained large multi-pane windows on both floors in the inner bays, and narrow multi-pane windows on both floors flanked by full-height pilasters in the outer bays. Internally, the principal room was a large assembly hall. The building was an important venue for public meetings. At the meeting of the Cavan Farmers' Union, in January 1922, the farmer and Fianna Fáil politician, Michael Sheridan, spoke out strongly against the Anglo-Irish Treaty, saying "we must break the last link with England". In March 1946, the Town Hall played host for the first time to the Cavan International Drama Festival, a competition which has continued to be held in March each year. A major programme of refurbishment works was undertaken under the direction of a local architect, Philip Cullivan, in the 1980s. In 2014, the council was dissolved and administration of the town was amalgamated with Cavan County Council in accordance with the Local Government Reform Act 2014. The building was subsequently converted into a local arts centre by J. J. McCauley Construction at a cost of £1.75 million, with financial support from the Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht and Cavan County Council. It was officially re-opened as the Townhall Cavan Arts Space in May 2022. Performers have included the folk band, The Fureys, in September 2022, the singer-songwriter, Lisa O'Neill in February 2023, and the rock band, Gina, Dale Haze and the Champions, in September 2023.

Tynte's Castle

Tynte's Castle (; Irish: Caisleán Tynte) is a tower house located in Youghal, eastern County Cork, Ireland. Location Tynte's Castle is located in the north of Youghal's historic core, on Main Street (anciently King's Street); it is 420 m (460 yd) north-northwest of Youghal's Clock Gate and 220 m (240 yd) east-northeast of St Mary's Collegiate Church. The tower was originally on the riverfront, but when the Blackwater River silted up and changed course in the 17th–18th centuries, it was left 220 m (240 yd) from the water. History Tynte's Castle was built in the late 15th century by the Walsh family, Cambro-Norman merchants who built stores and fortified houses in the town to protect their trade goods. After the Second Desmond Rebellion (1579–1583) they were stripped of their property, which reverted to the Crown. The tower was leased to Sir Robert Tynte (1571–1663) in the late 16th century and refurbished in 1643. Oliver Cromwell's army entered Youghal in 1649 during the Cromwellian conquest of Ireland; it is assumed that it was used to quarter Parliamentarian soldiers. In 1689, during the reign of King James II, it was used as a prison for Cromwell supporters and an attempt was made to burn it down. The castle remained with the Tyntes until it was sold in 1866 to William Raymond FitzMaurice, a wealthy Anglo-Irish landowner. The castle was acquired by the McCarthy family in the 1950s, and they restored it. It is now open to tourists. Building A fortified stone tower of three storeys, with base batter. It has a hipped slate roof with machicolations, Irish crenellations and a murder hole. There are large windows in the west wall topped with brick arches; these were probably added in the 19th century when the castle was used as a granary. References
Bandon Town Hall

Bandon Town Hall (Irish: Halla an Bhaile Droichead na Bandan) is a municipal building on North Main Street in Bandon, County Cork, Ireland. It is currently used as a community events venue. History The building was financed by public subscription: one of the more significant subscribers was William Cavendish, 7th Duke of Devonshire, whose seat was at Lismore Castle, and who subscribed £100. The duke retained ownership of the site and rented the building out to trustees who were responsible for the management of the building. The new building was designed by Richard Rolt Brash in the Italianate style, built in brick with a cement render and was officially opened by the duke on 9 October 1863. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage of nine bays facing onto North Main Street. The layout involved a central block, which was two-storeys high, flanked by a pair of single-storey wings, which were projected forward. The central block of three bays featured a short flight of steps leading up to a round headed doorway with a fanlight, an architrave and a keystone. The doorway was flanked by a pair of rounded headed windows with oculi and tracery, while the first floor was fenestrated by segmental headed mullioned windows with archivolts. There were quoins at the corners and, at roof level, there was a modillioned cornice. The wings of three bays each were fenestrated by round headed windows separated by pilasters supporting a frieze and a modillioned cornice. Internally, the principal room was an assembly hall, which served as the meeting place of the town commissioners. Science and technology classes were initiated in the town hall shortly after it opened. The buildings was also used for public events: the politician and author, William Joseph O'Neill Daunt, gave a lecture on the life and career of the anti-poverty campaigner, Richard Grattan, in the town hall in August 1874. Follow implementation of the Local Government Act 2001, under which the town commissioners were succeeded by Bandon Town Council, the assembly room became the council chamber of the new council. After extensive flooding in the area, the President of Ireland, Mary McAleese, visited the town hall and expressed her sympathy for local people affected by the flooding. The building continues to be used as a community events venue and hosts concerts by The Old Town Hall Band, the members of which performed with the dance bands of the 1950s. References

Brinny Church

Brinny Church is an Anglican Gothic Revival church located in Brinny, County Cork, Ireland. It has no dedication. It is part of the Bandon Union of parishes in the Diocese of Cork, Cloyne, and Ross. History A rudimentary structure was consisted on the site of the church in 1737. The church was substantially rebuilt in 1813, at a cost of IR£300, which was loaned by the Board of First Fruits. The building was further altered in the 1880s and 1890s. The tower was designed by Arthur Hill, though some sources falsely attribute it to his father, Henry Hill. Sources differ on when it was built: though most sources claim it was added during the alterations to the building in the 1880s and 1890s, Samuel Lewis mentions the tower in a book dating from 1837. If the tower was built during the 1813 renovations, Henry couldn't have designed it as he was born in 1806. Architecture The church has three bays and a saddle roof. References Notes Sources
