St. Mary's Church, Kilkenny

A view of the thirteenth-century St. Mary’s Church as seen from Rose Inn Street in Kilkenny in about 1940. An annotation on the reverse of the print refers to the building as 'Old St. Mary's', presumably to distinguish it from the later St Mary's Roman Catholic Cathedral in Kilkenny.
