Proposed design for the completion of Holy Trinity Church, Cork by Edward Welby Pugin (1834-1875) and George Coppinger Ashlin (1837-1921). Print by J. Lewis, 29 Dame Street, Dublin. With a typescript note possibly by Fr. Angelus Healy OFM Cap. referring to the provenance of the proposed design. The note affirms that in June 1877 Ashlin had ‘been employed by Fr. Thomas, Superior of Cork, to examine the foundations of the Church of the Most Holy Trinity, Cork, with a view to completing the front of the Church, and erecting a Tower. … The proposed design shows portions of the Friary at both sides of the Church’. This proposal did not materialize, and the completion of the Church façade, and the erection of the spire was not done until the celebration of the centenary of the birth of Fr. Theobald Mathew OSFC in 1890.

Stephen – Capuchin at Rheims. He made part of his studies in Rochestown and was ordained in Cork about 1881. The other is Br. Leo who came to Ireland as Br. Master in 1875 or 74’.

Leo, a Hollander, Fr. Stephen, a Frenchman’. The file contains the original print and a copy print.
