Pennyfeather Lane is a minor lane connecting Friary Street (formerly Walkin Street) to High Street and Patrick Street in the centre of Kilkenny city. In the early part of the twentieth century the Capuchins held property on the Lane from Sir Lionel Harty of Belrobin, Dundalk, County Louth. In 1911, it was noted that the Capuchins held two houses on Pennyfeather Lane. On 29 Sept. 1916 a property lease was secured from the representatives of Sir Lionel Harty for 99 years at an annual rent of £60. A portion of this property was sub-let to tenants to cover some of the rent due to the Harty estate (Dr Reginald Griffin leased one house). The outright purchase of the premises on Pennyfeather Lane from the Harty Estate was accomplished in May 1940.
