Sligo
Abbey
From The Illustrated Dublin Journal, Volume 1, Number 28, March 15, 1862
SLIGO Abbey is an object well deserving of the notice of the antiquary.
It was originally erected, according to Ware, by Maurice Fitzgerald,
Lord Justice, about the year 1252. In 1414 is was destroyed by fire,
but very shortly afterwards re-erected in the present style of
architecture. It is a pictur-esque ruin of very large dimensions,
divided into several apartments. The first has a beautiful window of
carved stone, under which is the altar, likewise of cut stone. Here are
two ancient monuments--one bearing date 1616, and the other belonging
to one of the O'Connor kings; the latter is in good preservation.
