Trim- Co.Meath
Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul Newtown Trim
We are down at Trim Co Meath for a few days break. Trim has got a number of ancient ecclesiastical sites within easy walking distance of the town.
Here just up river on the banks of the river Boyne we find another fascinating example of life in the ancient world that has survived the ravages of time.
The immense Cathedral of St Peter and St Paul Newtowntrim was part of the large Priory founded in 1202 by Simon De Rochfort, Bishop of Meath for an order of Augustinians. De Rochfort successfully petitioned the Pope to move Cathedral status from Clonard to Newtowntrim as it would be better protected by the nearby stronghold of Trim Castle. Only part of the original nave and chancel of this largest Gothic Church in Ireland survive. As said the cathedral was one of the largest and most sophisticated medieval cathedrals in Ireland - the present remains reflect only a portion of its former grandeur.

Cathedral of St. Peter and Paul, 6 De Granville Ct, Saintjohns, Trim, Co. Meath, C15 T973, Ireland
St Peter & Paul Cathedral
This medieval cathedral is situated in Newtown Cemetery. It was founded close to the temporal power of Trim Castle by the Norman Bishop Simon de Rochfort in c.1206 after his cathedral at Clonard was burned down. Only part of the original nave and chancel of this largest Gothic Church in Ireland survive. Part of the ruined Priory of Augustinian Canons, which were established to maintain the Cathedral, also survive.
Buried under the high alter of the cathedral are the remains of the founder Simon de Rochford (died 1224) and one of his successors, Bishop William Sherwood, who died in 1428. The figure of the bishop now affixed to the wall of the cathedral was long trodden underfoot and was badly worn in places. The figure is commonly known as ‘king john's daughter' but is probably the figure of Simon de Rochford the founder of the cathedral.
In the parish church in Newtown-Clonbun stands the remains of the tomb of Sir Lucas Dillon and his wife Lade Jane Bathe, daughter of James Bathe of Athcarne and Drunmconrath. The recumbent figures of Sir Lucas in Renaissance armour and his wife in Elizabethian gown surmount the tomb. This tomb is known locally as the tomb of the jealous man and woman because the two figures do not touch each other at all. And also the sword of state separates the figures.

Wearin' the britches
I learned this song from the playing of Paul Brady. It is not possible to make a fair cover of that song as it is in my humble opinion perfect :) As always it was fun to hear how it sounds using a banjo.
Will probably upload a new version later on as I sang a few lines twice hehe.
You go check this link to hear how it should sound!

Trim, Irish Baile Átha Troim (Ford of the Elder Bushes), market town and seat of County Meath, Ireland, on the River Boyne. It was important from ancient times and was the seat of a bishopric.

St. Patrick's Church (1499) with its castellated tower became a Church of Ireland.

Athlone Castle & Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul
The earliest recorded “castle” of Athlone was a wooden structure built in 1129, by King Tairrdelbach Ua Conchobair of Connacht, possibly on the site of the present castle. The stone castle which survives today dates from 1210 and was built for King John by his Irish Justiciar, Bishop John de Gray of Norwich. It was built to defend the crossing point of the river at Athlone and to provide a bridgehead to facilitate the Norman advance into Connaught.

Crutched Friars Hospital, Priory of St John the Baptist Trim
We are down at Trim Co Meath for a few days break. Trim has got a number of ancient ecclesiastical sites within easy walking distance of the town.
Here just up river on the banks of the river Boyne we find another fascinating example of life in the ancient world that has survived the ravages of time. This in the Priory of St John the Baptist is the remains of an old 13th Century hospital founded by the Crutched Friars!
Adjacent to the old Newtown Bridge that spans the River Boyne stands the ruins of the Priory and Hospital of St John the Baptist. The priory was founded for the 'Crutched Friars' (name is from the wooden staffs they carried which were topped by a cross) by Simon de Rochfort c 1202, about the same time as he founded the Cathedral and medieval parish church. The Friars were Augustinians who ran hospitals and guest houses.
