- WX045-027001: Religious house - Cistercian monks, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CWX045-027001-. William Marshal, earl of Pembroke, was on his first voyage to Ireland as lord of Leinster in the autumn of 1200 when he was caught in a storm. He vowed to establish a new abbey if saved from shipwreck and on reaching safety in Bannow Bay, he immediately granted c. 9000 statute acres of land for the foundation of a Cistercian abbey dedicated to the Virgin Mary. The land was part of Hervey de Montmorency’s fief in the cantred of Shelburne but following Hervey’s death in 1205 it reverted to Marshal. The actual conferring of the charter by Marshall is dated to 1207-13. The monastic estate, equivalent to the parishes of Tintern and Owenduff, extended north from Bannow Bay and lay to the west of the Owenduff River and were divided in two by the Episcopal manor of Kinnagh (Colfer 2002, 185-8; 2004, 45-7). The abbey was colonised by monks from Tintern Major in Marshal’s manor of Chepstow in Monmouthshire. Tintern Abbey is variously known as Tintern Minor, Tintern Parva (Little Tintern) or Tintern de Voto (of the vow). Close contact was maintained between Tintern Minor and its mother house but relations with its confreres at nearby Dunbrody were tempestuous and often violent. Tintern was suppressed on 6th May 1536 along with Dunbrody and Bective in Co. Meath. In 1576 a fee-farm grant of the abbey and its lands was made to Anthony Colclough who had come to Ireland as a member of the Lord Deputy’s staff and whose descendants continued to reside at the abbey until 1959. Throughout the post-Dissolution period, different elements of the abbey church were converted or adapted to domestic use. In 1963, the abbey, its outbuildings and the bridge with crenellated parapet (WX045-02802-) were transferred into the ownership of the state for preservation as a national monument. The Office of Public Works commenced conservation works in the early 1980s and extensive archaeological excavations were undertaken in the mid-1980s and 1990s (Lynch 2010). The abbey is sited on a gentle south-facing slope overlooking a small but fast-flowing river (sometimes referred to as the Tintern River) where it enters Bannow Bay in a tidal estuary. The surviving buildings comprise the nave, crossing tower, chancel and south transept chapels of the abbey church. The layout of the cloister arcade wall, as revealed by excavation, is also presented. Burial took place throughout the church and cloister area during the Cistercian period with most burials dating to the fifteenth century, and three graveslabs are preserved. The medieval gatehouse has been incorporated within a nineteenth-century stable block that houses a visitor reception area. The site is open with a guide service on a seasonal basis (see www.heritageireland.ie) but it is possible to walk in the environs of the abbey all year round. The Cistercian church comprised an aisled nave, crossing tower, transepts with three chapels opening off each arm and a chancel that was rectangular in plan. The archaeological evidence has shown that in the mid-fifteenth century a major contraction of the church took place which involved the demolition of the north aisle and north transept and the abandonment of the south aisle (ibid. 15-6). The upstanding remains are constructed of rubble masonry incorporating granite, sandstone, quartzite and shale with locally sourced red sandstone and granite used for the chamfered piers and arches. Dundry stone imported from near Bristol was used for some of the mouldings on the west door. The nave (L c. 22.5m; Wth c. 8.5m) is plain and austere with unmoulded arches, rectangular piers chamfered at the corners and solid masonry occupying the equivalent of the western bay. The chamfer moulding on the quoins of the west façade and the remains of a wall scar at a high level on the south façade indicate that the aisle walls terminated before the west wall. Details of the west doorway were revealed when later Colclough modifications were removed in the 1960s. The pointed-arch opening has two attached filleted jamb-shafts, banded at mid-height with moulded bases and capitals (now much eroded), all consistent with a thirteenth-century date. Dundry stone was used for the bands, capitals and defaced labels and the remainder of the dressed stone is Old Red Sandstone. In the early nineteenth-century, the nave was converted by the Colcloughs into a three-storey domestic dwelling of Georgian Gothic style. The nave arcades were blocked up and pointed neo-Gothic windows inserted and a ‘Gothicized Venetian doorway in the Betty Langley manner’ (Bence-Jones 1978, 273), reached by a set of three steps was set in the blocking of the western arch on the south side. The Colclough house was removed from the nave in the years following state acquisition. The crossing tower is square in plan (8m x 8m) and with its crenellated parapets is a maximum 27m high. The tower is an integral part of the extant church and may belong to the earliest phase of building. The parapets with crenellations and blockhouses were probably added during the fifteenth-century modifications. Just below the parapet, there is a double ogee-headed window on the south and west elevations which provided light to the bell chamber. On the west face of the tower, just under the apex of the stone flashing for the nave roof, there is a double square-headed ope which may originally have been a doorway giving access to a floored attic or loft over the nave. A similar blocked-up rectangular ope is visible on the south face of the tower as well as a a single narrow ogee-headed window just to the east. A small square-headed window and two narrow slit windows on the south elevation and a small ogee-headed window and narrow slit window on the north face all provide light to the mural stairs. The east face of the tower is fairly featureless except for the stone roof flashing and a blocked-up square-headed ope. Massive stone corbels indicate a timber floor just above the arch with a possible second floor or timber structure at a higher level to support the abbey bells. Access to the tower chamber was originally provided by a very narrow (0.4m wide) spiral stairway rising from the south-east corner of the south transept chapels. In the mid-fifteenth century modifications, a stair turret was built against the north face of the tower and at fourth floor level, the spiral stairs leads into steep flights of stairs within the east, north and west walls. A porch, roofed with large stone lintels protects the entrance to the stair turret. A substantial buttress (1.8m x 2.2m) built against the north face of the tower also belongs to the fifteenth-century phase of reorganization. In 1569 / 1570 the crossing tower was converted into a six-storey fortified dwelling. The remaining open arches were blocked up, large stone corbels were used to support the wall plates and floor beams, limestone fireplaces were installed and a number of small square-headed windows were inserted at different levels. Oak panelling was installed in the early seventeenth century, sections of which have been restored and are on display within the tower. The tower continued in use as part of the Colclough residence until the mid-twentieth century. The chancel (L c. 13.25m; Wth 8m) displays a degree of architectural sophistication not evident in the nave or tower. It may have been extensively remodelled c. 1300 or perhaps it was not actually constructed until this later period (ibis. 24-7). Traces of the outline of the original east window can be seen but this was blocked up and a narrower window inserted at some later stage. No tracery from either window has survived. There were three slender lancet windows in the side walls and sufficient remained of the tracery to reconstruct a two-light window with cinquefoil heads with pointed trefoil above and a dagger-shaped motif in the centre. Three plain tomb recesses have been incorporated in the north wall. The outside walls are strengthened by a series of shallow buttresses d

In 1576 a fee-farm grant of the Cistercial abbey and its lands was made to Anthony Colclough who had come to Ireland as a member of the Lord Deputy’s staff and whose descendants continued to reside at the abbey until 1959. Throughout the post-Dissolution period, different elements of the abbey church were converted or adapted to domestic use. In 1569 / 1570 the crossing tower was converted into a six-storey fortified dwelling. The open arches were blocked up, large stone corbels were used to support the wall plates and floor beams, limestone fireplaces were installed and a number of small square-headed windows were inserted at different levels. Oak panelling was installed in the early seventeenth century, sections of which have been restored and are on display within the tower. Shortly after the conversion of the tower, the chancel was converted to a three storey dwelling. The lancet windows were blocked up and three-light windows with Tudor-style hood mouldings were inserted. Large granite fireplaces were inserted in the north and south walls and a large limestone fireplace with bread oven was inserted in the west wall at ground level. The only extant remains of the south transept of the original church comprise the lady chapel or eastern aisle which is rib-vaulted in three bays. Two further storeys were added to the lady chapel in the later sixteenth century when the adjacent chancel was converted to domestic quarters. The east face of this addition has four Tudor-style windows at a high level. The transept clerestorey windows on its west face were opened up and extended to provide three long windows. A round chimney stack services two small fireplaces in the west wall. In the early nineteenth-century, the nave was converted by the Colcloughs into a three-storey domestic dwelling of Georgian Gothic style. The nave arcades were blocked up and pointed neo-Gothic windows inserted and a ‘Gothicized Venetian doorway in the Betty Langley manner’ (Bence Jones 1978, 273), reached by a set of three steps was set in the blocking of the western arch on the south side.

The only upstanding claustral building of the Cistercian abbey is the gateway and adjacent structures in the west range that have been incorporated into the late eighteenth / nineteenth century stable block. Both archways of the gateway are 2.3m wide and the internal dimensions of the passage linking the two, is c. 4.2m x 4.2m. The west façade of the gateway consists of a simple arch of red sandstone with chamfered voussoirs. The wall displays a slight batter and is surmounted by stepped crenellations added by the Colcloughs. The voussoirs of the east façade were replaced in post-Dissolution times but the red sandstone jambs of the arch are intact. The gateway was converted into a coach house by blocking the outermost arch and fitting doors to the inner (eastern) arch. (Lynch 2010, 30-1) Compiled by: Ann Lynch Date of upload: 23 July, 2013

Situated on a W-facing slope and on the S side of the old road from Clonmines to Fethard. This is a Capella-ante-portas (lay chapel) of Tintern Abbey within a rectangular graveyard (dims c. 36m ENE-WSW; c. 30m NNW-SSE ) defined by masonry walls. It was probably rebuilt in the later 16th century by Sir Anthony Colclough with stones from the Abbey, which is c. 300m to the NW. According to a Visitation by Thomas Ram, the Protestant bishop of Ferns, in 1615 the church of Limregh or Tintern was newly built by Thomas Colclough, and Richard Allen was the priest (Hore 1900-11, vol. 6, 269).Robert Leigh writing in 1684 described it as the parish church of Tintern (ibid. vol. 2, 147), and it would have remained in use until the present Church of Ireland church, which is c. 800m to the SSE, was built in 1818 (Lewis 1837, vol. 2, 627). The church survives almost complete with good quoins. It is an undivided structure (ext. dims 14.05m E-W; 7.7m N-S; int. dims 12.3m E-W; 6.1m N-S), with a double bellcote added separately as an extension (dims 2.68m N-S; 1.18m E-W; H c. 6m) to the N side of the W gable. The only entrance is a round headed doorway (Wth 0.99m; H 1.99m) in dressed sandstone with a hood moulding towards the W end of the N wall. The triple lancet E window (Wth 1.59m; H 2m) of Old Red Sandstone, sandstone and shale, is now blocked. The two-light W window (Wth 1.59m) is pointed and partly blocked, while a window towards the E end of the S wall is destroyed. All the windows could be re-built with stones from the abbey, as might a blocked doorway (WX045-029008-) built into a wall on the S side of the road c. 30m W of the graveyard. A double set of joist holes in the N and S walls at the W end of the church may have supported a gallery that was replaced once. The late 16th century memorial of Sir Anthony Colclough (FitzGerald 1904-06) is attached to the inside of the S wall and there are four late 17th century memorial slabs within the church (Cantwell 1974-84, vol. 8, No. 383). There is a vault, now blocked, entered from a doorway on the outside of the W gable. Lady's Well (WX045-028001-) is c. 90m to the W.

A wall monument of Kilkenny limestone is built onto the inner face of the S wall of Tintern church (WX045-02900-1). It consists of a limestone disc (diam. c. 0.65m) high on the wall that once held an attached crest (C. D. 1895-7), while below it is a limestone plaque (Wth c. 1m; H c. 0.6m). The incised inscription has a Latin introduction and commemorates Anthony Colclough from Wolstanton, Staffordshire, who acquired the Tintern estate in the 1560s and died in 1584. He had seven sons, and the marriages of four of his five daughters are recorded on the stone.

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
