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.
Priory of St John the Baptist
St. John's Priory was established by Simon Rochfort, Bishop of Meath, c. 1202 for the Crutched Friars. The first record of the priory is in 1281 when there was a grant of alms from the manor of Magathtreth.
In 1513 Edmund Dillon was prior of this monastery; his brother Thomas Dillon was prior of Saints Peter and Paul's at the time. Their brother Robert was granted the priory at the 1540 Dissolution of the Monasteries. At the time the priory consisted of a church, two towers, a hall, storehouse, kitchen, brewhouse, two granaries, a dovecote and a haggard (stackyard). There were 90 acres (36 ha) of arable land near the Boyne, land and a mill on the Leinster Blackwater, a castle and land at Longwood, County Meath and various other lands in the county.
He later sold it to the Ashe family. After they abandoned it, it was supposedly granted to the Catholic Bishop of Meath. After the Battle of the Boyne (1690) the building was granted to one of King William's men. According to one story, on his first night in the holy spot he saw a most horrid vision and at dawn he rode away never to return.
The site was excavated by David Sweetman in 1984, who found the remains of a 15th-century rood screen and a doorway in the gable end of the nave.

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.
Newtown Clonbun Parish Church
Newtown Clonbun Parish Church, Newtown, Trim, Co. Meath, Ireland
The Newtown Monuments consist of a large medieval cathedral, two monasteries and small church which date from 1206. On the walls of the church one will find the late 16th century alter tomb with effigies of Sir Luke Dillon and his wife. The Friary of St. John the Baptist, is the remains of a 13th century Augustinian foundation, which was later converted to a hospital in the 18th century.
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.
