Great to read this review of our 'Monastic Europe' volume: 'The book richly places monasticism and its surrounding material socio-spatial universe in a highly textured, mutual and mutually explanatory context' @Brepols @keithleosmith @UCCHistory @CACSSS

Retraced our steps up the aisle of #BallintubberAbbey today after getting married here in 2019. Beautiful atmosphere, and magnificent stonework and carvings on display in this 800 year old building. @ballintubberabb @MonasticIreland @NationalMons @irarchaeology

@jdmccafferty @ColemanDennehy @irarchaeology @BridMcGrath Very impressive looking ruins of the castle - 3 of the corner towers remain to some extent, with the north east being the most intact

[Church of Ireland Historical Society @COIHS_]

Worth noting that the Augustinian abbey of St Thomas the Martyr in #Dublin was the first to be dedicated to #ThomasBecket, founded shortly after his death as an act of restitution by Henry

Thomas Dineley, 1681 with this marvelous caption: 'The ruines of Quin Abby, lateely harbouring some Friers of the Order of St. Francis' (National Library of Ireland MS 392) With some pictures I took on a visit there in 2007 #Clare

[MonasticIreland @MonasticIreland]

Stunning sketches of 16th century mural tomb at the west end of the nave in Kilconnell. Below this this canopy of ‘flamboyant’ tracery is a panel with 6 carved figures. Above are two small figures, one of St. Francis and the other of a Bishop. The tomb’s benefactor is unknown

[All The Falling Stones @allthestones]

Look what gorgeousness landed at my door yesterday! A sneaky wee bday surprise from Keith by one of my favourite artists @JohnFlynnArt! Drawn from one of my pics of Kilconnell Friary in County Galway the detail is AMAZING ✨ I could stare at it all day 😍 #irishart #johnflynnart

Exciting dig now underway in Valladolid: the search for the Franciscan chapel where Red Hugh (Aodh Rua) O'Donnell & Christopher Columbus were buried! O'Donnell also founded a Franciscan Friary in Donegal: https://t.co/LD77jdK1la @janeohlmeyer @MonasticIreland #twitterstorians
