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.

A view of the exterior of Ards House near Creeslough in County Donegal. Ards House (later Ard Mhuire Capuchin Friary) was formerly the residence of the Stewart-Bam family. The house and demesne were taken over by the Irish Land Commission in 1927. It was acquired by the Capuchin Order in March 1930. The Order changed the name of the old Stewart-Bam house to Ard Mhuire which became a theological seminary. The first community consisted of Fr. Colman Griffin OFM Cap. (Guardian), Fr. Patrick Kelleher OFM Cap., Fr. Andrew Carew OFM Cap. and Br. Fidelis Rice OFM Cap. It took some time to convert Ards House into a Capuchin friary. A power plant was built for electric light and central heating was installed. A large fire in December 1944 caused considerable damage to the old house and the decision was made in the mid-1950s to demolish the residence and build a new friary and church. At this point, the mansion was in a terrible state of repair – the lead roof was developing cracks and was leaking and the oldest part of the building, the elaborate façade, was crumbling. The new Capuchin Friary at Ard Mhuire was formally opened on 13 November 1966. The friary overlooks the shores of Sheephaven Bay and now offers retreats, conferences, seminars, and periods of rest and relaxation, reflection, prayer and holidays.
