Sunset Sanctuary by jamescharlick on Flickr.
Via Flickr: Chapel Rose was built between 1290 and 1308 as a convent and hospital, occupied by the Augustinian Sisters. Around 1600 the entire complex was destroyed by fire, after which it was rebuilt. The oldest parts that have been preserved date from that period. In the 19th century the south and west wings were partially demolished and rebuilt. This was certainly one of my highlights from our roadtrip. website | etsy | 500px | tumblr
St Mary's by *Day Of The Dead on Flickr.
Via Flickr: On tour up North (UK) with Gravitas and Reaper The church was also known as the Famine Church, the original chapel was established at a time when Ireland was only beginning to recover from the Great Hunger brought on by the failure of the potato crop in successive years from 1845 to 1851. During the 1970's and 80's the congregation dwindled and the church finally closed it's doors for the last time in 1989.
