The town is renowned for its early ecclesiastical history and the scholarship of Lismore Abbey . The imposing Lismore Castle , situated on the site of the old monastery since medieval times , lies on a steep hill overlooking the town and the Blackwater valley . It can trace an eight-hundred-year-old history linking the varied historic relations between England and Ireland . Originally built following the arrival of Henry IIs son , Prince John , in the twelfth century , the castle was a bishops palace up to the sixteenth century . Subsequently owned by Sir Walter Raleigh until his demise , it was sold to Richard Boyle , controversial First Earl of Cork , described by historian R . F . Foster , in his Modern Ireland , as an epitome of Elizabethan adventurer-colonist in Ireland . In 1627 the castle was the birthplace of the First Earls most famous son , Robert Boyle ( of Boyles Law ) , known as the Father of Modern Chemistry . Boyle was chased off his lands in Ireland during the Irish Rebellion of 1641 , following which his sons recovered the family estates after suppression of the rebellion . The castle remained in the possession of the Boyle family until it passed to the English Dukes of Devonshire in 1753 when the daughter of the 4th Earl of Cork , Lady Charlotte Boyle , married the Marquess of Hartington , who later succeeded as , in 1755 , The 4th Duke of Devonshire , a future Prime Minister of Great Britain and First Lord of the Treasury . The Book of Lismore ( original name : Leabhar Mhic Cárthaigh Riabhaigh , meaning The Book of Mac Cárthaigh Riabhach ) , a compilation of medieval Irish manuscripts mainly relating the lives of Irish saints , notably St Brigid , St Patrick , and St Columba , also contains Acallam na Senórach , a most important Middle Irish narrative dating to the 12th century , pertaining to the Fenian Cycle . The Book of Lismore and the Lismore Crozier ( an enclosure for an episcopal staff , believed to be the venerable oaken staff of the founder of the abbey ) , were discovered together in 1814 behind a blocked-up doorway in Lismore Castle . Today , the castle continues in the private ownership of the Dukes of Devonshire who open the gardens and parts of the grounds for public access via a changing programme of local arts and education events . The Book of Lismore is on display at Chatsworth House in Derbyshire , Great Britain , and the Lismore Crozier is in the National Museum of Ireland in Dublin . The medieval Lismore Cathedral , dedicated to St Carthage , variously damaged and repaired over the centuries , is notable for its architecture and the stained glass window by the English pre Raphaelite artist , Edward Burne-Jones . A plaque has been erected in the town to commemorate the regular visits made to Lismore by Fred Astaire following an association developed by his sister , Adele Astaire , who was married to Lord Charles Arthur Francis Cavendish , son of The 9th Duke of Devonshire . A notable resident born in the town who has described her early life in Lismore , is the internationally renowned travel writer and world touring cyclist , Dervla Murphy .
