Recorded monuments

• TS067-004001 Religious house - Augustinian friars
  Description

  S of Tipperary town (TS067-004----) and immediately S of the River Ara, at the SE junction of Abbey Street and Railway Road. There is conflicting evidence of when this Augustinian Friary was founded, sources suggesting that this was either during the reign of Henry III (1216-1272) or later c.1300 by Stephen Butler, an ancestor of the earls of Carrick-on-Suir (Gwynn and Hadcock 1970 (1988 reprint), 302). In 1539 the friary was surrendered by the then prior, Donough O'Cuyrke (O’Quirk) and the possessions, consisting of ‘a church, chapter-house, dormitory hall, two chambers, an inner chamber, kitchen, stable, cemetery and garden, all said to be in ruins and not valued (ibid.). The jurors also stated that ‘the church has from time immemorial been the parish church of Typperare. There are no superfluous buildings, but all are necessary for the farmer, and with 2 gardens and other accommodations cont. 2 acr. And are worth nothing above repairs’ (White 1943, 327). The jurors appraisal was probably exaggerated to reduce the value of the property as one of the jurors, Dermot Ryan, subsequently gained possession of the abbey (Quane 1960, 40; Gwynn and Hadcock 1970 (1988 reprint), 302). In the 1680s the abbey was demolished and the materials were used to build an Erasmus Smith Grammar School (Quane 1960, 42). Only a pointed arch survived, with a soffit rib carried by pointed corbels, which is visible on at least two pre-1950s photographs. According to the OS Letters of 1840, ‘This arch is about sixteen feet [c. 4.8m] high, and is eight feet ten inches [c. 2.5m] wide. There is but a very small portion of the wall, which was four feet two inches [c. 1.2m] thick, remaining on each side (O'Flanagan 1930, vol. 3, 34 -35(103)). A survey of the arch in 1920 gives the width of the arch as 8 feet 10½ inches (c. 2.69m), the height to the spring of the arch as 8 feet 9½ inches (c. 2.67m) and the thickness as 4 feet 1¼ inches (c. 1.24m), with the soffit rib being 11 inches thick (0.26m) (OPW files, 15 April 1920). In 1958 an attempt was made to move the arch, however, this only resulted in its total ‘collapse and disintegration’ (Quane 1960, 75). No trace of the abbey survives at ground level.

• TS067-004005 School
  Description

  On the E side of Railway Road, S of the River Ara and in the grounds of the Augustinian Friary (TS067-004001-). In 1669 a royal charter granted Erasmus Smith ‘several parcells of abby land, with the old abby, in Tipperary...to hold ye premisses to ye uses of his charity’ (Quane 1960, 41). This charity was the establishment of a free grammar school. Construction of the school began in 1680 when the old abbey was demolished to provide building materials. In 1690 the school was closed as the building was taken over as a headquarters by the Williamite army. The following year the school was burned down. In 1702 a new school was completed (Bourke 1989, 86). This late 17th/early 18th-century building survived for over a hundred years when in 1820 a new school replaced it. The 'Father Humphreys Memorial School' that is present today, opened in 1955, was partly built on the old Abbey School (Quane 1960, 75). Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 10 June 2014
