H. This is described on the map as the ‘Residentia Capuchinorum’. It represents a block of buildings on the north side of Great Gate Street in an area now known as Williamsgate Street. It sits under one of the Great Gates of the city (marked as ‘30’). It is most likely the location of the rented house occupied by the Capuchins in 1644 when they left the Collegiate buildings of St. Nicholas.

F. This indicates the altar erected by the Capuchins for public processions along the main thoroughfare running through Galway. The altar was situated at a place now popularly referred to as the ‘The Four Corners’, at one of which is the well-known fourteenth century stone townhouse called Lynch’s Castle (marked as ‘S’).
