A metal artefact (possibly a nameplate). The engraving on the plate reads: ‘IARGONNELL’. A covering note reads: ‘Artefact from walled gardens found by Br. Rufino Ferris OFM Cap. (South Africa) in the summer of 2006. Placed in this envelope by Br. Michael Duffy OFM Cap., 11th Jan. 2007’. The artefact probably dates to the occupation of Ards House by the Stewarts.

Report on the prospects of the South African mission by Fr. Edward Walsh OFM Cap. and Fr. Canice Bourke OFM Cap., St. Mary’s, Cape Town for Fr. Kevin Moynihan OFM Cap., Provincial Minister. The report refers to a meeting with Bishop Bernard Cornelius O’Riley, Vicar Apostolic of the Cape of Good Hope, to discuss the areas (Athlone and Parow) which have been offered to the Irish Capuchins. A description of both districts and their populations is given. The financing of the proposed mission is also referred to. The report notes that ‘there is a well-disposed Catholic in Athlone, a Mr. Murphy, who came to the Cape during the Boer War, and settled here’. The report also affirms that ‘the people seem to want us badly in Athlone – there certainly is a hunger for a priest there’.
