Value duty form from the Commissioners of Inland Revenue for the conveyance by Rev. Andrew Craig Robinson to Rev. Edward (Peter) Bowe OSFC and others of premises on Walkin Street, Kilkenny. The completed form includes information in respect of the occupiers of the premises and the poor rate valuation for each separate hereditament. With draft copies.
Although the association of the Capuchin friars with the Walkin Street (now Friary Street) area of Kilkenny dates to the late seventeenth century, the documents in this section relate primarily to the present-day Church of St. Francis, built by Fr. Peter Joseph Mulligan OSFC (1793-1853) in 1848. The section also contains documents relating to the subsequent extensions to the Friary, most notably in 1897 when a large three-storey building between Walkin Street and Pennyfeather Lane was constructed to provide, among other things, accommodation for novices. The relatively large number of documents relating to the Walkin Street properties has necessitated the creation of a further three sub-sub-series relating to a particular plot of ground, purchase or sale.
