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.
A view of the Castlepark peninsula located on the southern shore of the Bandon Estuary in Kinsale Harbour in County Cork. An annotation (on the reverse) reads 'a view from Kinsale'.
An illustration of a view from Holy Trinity Capuchin Friary in Cork. The text reads ‘Beautiful golden glow above the chimney stack morning / 3/10/40 / Holy Trinity’. The name of the artist (presumably a Capuchin friar) is not given.
A view from Great Blasket Island ('An Blascaod Mór') with the mainland in the distance. A manuscript annotation on the reverse reads 'On the Blasket Islands / looking from Great Blasket towards the mainland'.
