A file containing ‘Wellington Plates’ box. The box holds four plates showing details from a pictorial map of Galway (c.1651). Two known copies of the original seventeenth century map exist, one in Trinity College Library in Dublin, and the second in the James Hardiman Library in NUI Galway.
The numbered map details include references to the following:
H. This is described on the map as the ‘Residentia Capuchinorum’. It represents a block of buildings on the north side of Great Gate Street in an area now known as Williamsgate Street. It sits under one of the Great Gates of the city (marked as ‘30’). It is most likely the location of the rented house occupied by the Capuchins in 1644 when they left the Collegiate buildings of St. Nicholas.
F. This indicates the altar erected by the Capuchins for public processions along the main thoroughfare running through Galway. The altar was situated at a place now popularly referred to as the ‘The Four Corners’, at one of which is the well-known fourteenth century stone townhouse called Lynch’s Castle (marked as ‘S’).
Number '8' on the map is a reference to a church, a block of buildings and an ornamental garden with walks. It is referred to on the map as ‘Capuchinorum Aedes’. It is situated outside the city walls and stands on the north side of Bohermore – now known as Prospect Hill. It is located near the old Pigeon House (marked as ‘42’). This is most likely the church and friary built by the Capuchins when they vacated their rented house in 1644. The site of this church is now occupied by The Western Hotel.

Part of Irish Capuchin Archives
The file comprises ‘The Imperial Dry Plate Co., Ltd., Cricklewood, London’ box. The box contains three plates. One of the plates shows an image of a seventeenth century map of the town of Charleville (now Charleville-Mézières) in the Ardennes Department in Northern France. The map shows the location of the church and friary established by the exiled Irish Capuchins in Charleville in the early seventeenth century. The map is titled ‘Charleville sur le Bord de la Meuze dans la Principaute Souuerain Darches’. The map has been attributed to Edmé Moreau (1596-1648). The file also includes topographic views of the walled cities of Sedan and Tovl. A faint ink stamp of the British Museum is visible on the Sedan view. Includes a cover letter from Alan Macbeth, photographers, affirming that the prints were sourced from the ‘Zeillers Topographie Gallae’ collection in the British Museum. The letter is dated 2 January 1920.
