Monastery of Mohill-Manchan

April 12, 2024

The monastery of Mohill-Manchan (Irish: mainistir an Maothail-Manachain) was anciently located at Mohill,[n 1] in county Leitrim. The earliest church was founded by Manchán of Mohill in the 6th century. Little is known about the former monastic community here. About the year 1216, the monastery became a religious house of the Canons Regular of Saint Augustine dedicated to the Saint Mary until suppression c. 1550 – c. 1590. The Priory of Mohill was briefly revived during Confederate Ireland rule but suppressed again by Cromwellian forces c. 1649–1653. From the ruins St. Mary's Church, Mohill, of Protestant denomination, was established in the 18th century.

Monastery edit

The former monastic settlement of Mohill was one of a multitude of monasteries that sprang up during 6th century Ireland.[3][4][5][n 2] A Christian missionary named Manchan founded a church here between 500–38AD.[7][8][9] Whether or not Manchan died at Mohill is unknown, though his remains may have been preserved and enshrined here.[10][11]

Nothing is known of the monastic community at Mohill,[9] but it surely consisted of a church, school, mill, house of hospitality, Christian burial ground, monastic cells, "house of tears",[n 3] and a round tower.[8] The monastery was governed by the bishop, abbot, and a uniquely Irish "erenagh", power being exercised by one person, or perhaps combined in practical permutations.[13] It was strongly bound to the túath of Muintir Eolais, allowing the Bishop little influence; the lifestyle followed asceticism.[14]

The monastery of Mohill was of considerable extent stretching across the river to encompass the townlands of Mohill, Tullybradan, Lisdadanan, coolabaun, Cappagh, Gortfadda, Drumcroy and Drumkilla, an estate of c. 300 – c. 600acres.[9][15][16] A daughter church at Cloonmorris was founded c. 500–700AD.[17]

Priory edit

See also: Canons_regular § Ireland

From the 13th century (c. 1216) following a reform movement of the Irish church, the monastery became the Priory of Saint Mary's of Mohill-Manchan. The priory belonged in the diocese of Ardagh, with Canons regular adhering to the Rule of St. Augustine.[n 4] The Priory of St. Mary's was headed by a prior, their office being valued at 20 "marks sterling" c. 1400 – c. 1401,[18][19] or "10–20 marks sterling" in the 15th century.[20][21] In 1418 the Priory of St. Mary's at Mohill was described as "conventual, with cure", and a dependency of the priory of Abbeyshrule in Ardagh diocese,[n 5] and sufficiently attractive for a canon from Clonmacnoise to enter its doors.[20] In 1475, the Priory of St. Mary's Mohill was described as "conventual", "elective", "with cure", whose value did not exceed c. "12 marks", and "not depending on any other monastery or place",[22] though a petition dated 1477 again alleged the dependency existed[23]

Annals edit

 
Monastery of Mohill-Manachan, former grounds

The Irish Annals refer to the priory of Mohill many times. For 1430AD the Annals of the Four Masters highlights an interesting privilege was the right of Mohill Priory to offer sanctuary to a fugitive fleeing from enemies.[9] The Annals also records a military invasion of Muintir Eolais in March 1590, when the local Túaths were defeated and Mohill Priory was forfeited to the English crown.

  • "AD 538: Manchán of Maethail fell".[41]
  • "1166: The shrine of Manchan, of Maethail, was covered by Ruaidhri Ua Conchobhair, and an embroidering of gold was carried over it by him, in as good a style as a relic was ever covered in Ireland".[33]
  • "1330: The coarb of (St) Caillin, Gilla-na-naev Mac Celie, died in the monastery of Maothail".[33]
  • "1430: Brian, the son of Tiernan Og O'Rourke, was slain by the sons of Melaghlin Mac Rannall, at Maethail-Mhanchain; and Donough Mac Tiernan was driven into the monastery of Maethail. Donough, however, came out of his own accord, for the sake of his people, on Mac Rannall's guarantee; and made peace between them; and an eric (compensation) was given to O'Rourke for the death of Brian".[33]
  • "1473: The son of Eogan Mag Ragnaill, prior of Mohill, rested.",[42]
  • "1486, The Prior of Maethail, Farrell, the son of Robert Mac Rannall, died".[33]
  • "1486: The prior of Maethal, namely, Ferghal, son of Raghnall, son of Robert, son of the Prior Mag Raghnaill, died this year on Easter Day".[34]
  • "1486: The Prior of Maethail, Farrell, the son of Robert Mac Rannall, died".[33]
  • "1590: An immense army was sent by the governor .. to Muinter-Eolais, in the beginning of March; and they captured ten hundred cows. And they were that night in Maethail; ... Pledges from the comarb of Fidhnacha, and pledges from the comarb of Druim-Oiriallaigh, and nine pledges from Muinter-Eolais, both church and territory, came with the Saxons on that occasion."[43]

First suppression, 1560-90 edit

 
Monastery of Mohill, ruins of the "old school house" under thick ivy.

From 1540 the English were forcefully suppressing Monasteries throughout Ireland,[33][n 10] and "the end of the sixteenth century [was] a bad time for priests and papists".[45] Some sources suggest the monastery was suppressed as late as 1621,[5][46] however Mohill was described as the "Queens's manor" consisting of 'about six quarters' in as 1583,[15] and in 1590 "an immense" english army occupied Mohill and routed the "Muintir Eolais" chieftains.[33][47][48]

The "late monastery of Moghill" was divided between Edward Barrett c. 1592, and Terence O'Byrne of Muintir Eolais c. 1594.[49][50][n 11] Barret's parcel subsequently passing to an englishman named John Crofton c. 1594,[15] who bequeathed same to his son Henry by a deed dated 2 June 1607.[52] On dissolution the Priory possessions were the townlands of Tullybradan, Coolabaun, Gortfadda, and Drumcroy, totaling c. 160 – c. 240acres, a church, two stone buildings, and the cemetery.[5][53]

"near the end of the sixteenth century. A bad time it was for priests and papists"

John O'Hart, Irish pedigrees, 1892, page 414.

Revival edit

Confederate Ireland rule was established c. 1642 – c. 1649, and during the Eleven Years' War the "Priory of Mohill" was re-established in some manner. Ecclesiastical documents record Canon Antony Mag Raghnaill, otherwise Reynolds, being appointed Prior of Maothail-Manchain on 21 August 1648.[40]

Final suppression, 1649–1653 edit

The Priory was suppressed again during devastating Cromwellian conquest of Ireland c. 1649 – c. 1653.

Heritage edit

Priory clergy were expelled and risked execution under the Penal Laws. In 1666 four Reynolds priests (James, Loghlin, Richard, Walter) are among "forty nine Catholics from hiding places in the woods" in county Roscommon, who signed a letter in support of the Pope and protesting the loss of their 'due liberties'.[54] And in 1713 an elderly Father Connor Reynolds "of Jamestown in the county of Leitrim" who had been exiled in Spain since 1681, was captured hiding in a trunk on a fishing boat arriving at Dungarvan port and imprisoned at Waterford gaol.[55]

Today nothing survives of the early ecclesiastical site here,[56] except for an inaccessible old school-house, and the base of a round tower located near the old persons home in the town. The remains of the abbey or sanctuary forms the south, and east, walls of the Hyde family vault in the graveyard of 'Saint Mary's church' later built on the Priory ruins.[5][8][10][15][28] The Croftons also built an old Castle at Rinn Lough from the ruins of Mohill Priory, as small free stones of the same class were evidenced in each.[15] There may be other undocumented ruins on the wider monastic site, though it's not classed as a national monument or heritage site.[57]

Notes and references edit

Notes edit

  1. ^ Mohill name variants historically include Irish: Maothail, Maethail, Middle English: Moithla, Moethla, Maethla, Moyghell, Moghill,[1] and Latin: Mathail, Nouella.[2]
  2. ^ Mohill was near the ancient border of the Kingdom of Meath and it is believed monasteries were all situated, roughly speaking, on the borders between provinces- "Of the boundary of Meath with the provinces here, ... and the Shannon to Loch-Bó-dearg, from that to Maothail, thence to Athluain [sic]".[6] Note that Athlone was not on the ancient border of the Kingdom of Meath, so "Athluain" presumably refers to "Ath-Cluain" or Cloone.
  3. ^ Connected to the ancient Irish monasteries, there was usually a penitential prison called Oeančeać, or "house of tears", where the penitent could voluntarily undergo penance.[12]
  4. ^ The "Canons regular of St. Augustine" differs from the Order of Saint Augustine (OSA) of today, though one could say that they are "ecclesiastical first cousins".
  5. ^ The Priory of Abbeyshrule was once referenced as the "monastery of St. Peter, Dearg" in papal registers.[21]
  6. ^ Odo must be the Eogan Mag Ragnaill mentioned in the Annals of Connacht.
  7. ^ Anachuduib refers to Annaduff in county Leitrim.[31]
  8. ^ a b The chronologies suggest Cormac and Farrell are identical..
  9. ^ We have Thady Reynolds supposedly from Leitrim (barony) not Mohill (barony) ("1528: Master Tadeus McGranyll, sitting in the name of the primate" at Ternmonfeckin metropolitan court,[37]) was consecrated Bishop of Kildare in 1641. Otherwise in 1556, there is a record of Dermot [Reynolds] son of the (unnamed) Prior of Mohill.
  10. ^ The Annals of the Four Masters records- "1540: The English, throughout every part of Ireland where they extended their power, were persecuting and banishing the Orders, and particularly they destroyed the monastery of Monaghan, and beheaded the guardian, and some of the friars".[33][44] This refers to the Franciscan Friary in county Monaghan and not the Augustinian Priory at Mohill in county Leitrim.
  11. ^ "1592: Grant to Edward Barrett of ... parcel of the possessions of the late religious house of Moghill in county Longford", which consisted of Lisdadanan, coolabaun, Tullybradan, Cappagh, Gortfadda, and Drumcroy.[51] Secondly in "1594: Grant to Terence, alias Tirlaughe O'Byrne, of ... the site and precinct of the late monastery of Moghill, with all its possessions, including the rectory".[50] Note - The O'Beirne's were a sept of 'Muintir Eolais'.

been preserved and enshrined here 10 11 Nothing is known of the monastic community at Mohill 9 but it surely consisted of a church school mill house of hospitality Christian burial ground monastic cells house of tears n 3 and a round tower 8 The monastery was governed by the bishop abbot and a uniquely Irish erenagh power being exercised by one person or perhaps combined in practical permutations 13 It was strongly bound to the tuath of Muintir Eolais allowing the Bishop little influence the lifestyle followed asceticism 14 The monastery of Mohill was of considerable extent

the priory of Abbeyshrule in Ardagh diocese n 5 and sufficiently attractive for a canon from Clonmacnoise to enter its doors 20 In 1475 the Priory of St Mary s Mohill was described as conventual elective with cure whose value did not exceed c 12 marks and not depending on any other monastery or place 22 though a petition dated 1477 again alleged the dependency existed 23 Personalities edit It

of Mohill many times For 1430AD the Annals of the Four Masters highlights an interesting privilege was the right of Mohill Priory to offer sanctuary to a fugitive fleeing from enemies 9 The Annals also records a military invasion of Muintir Eolais in March 1590 when the local Tuaths were defeated and Mohill Priory was forfeited to the English crown AD 538 Manchan of Maethail fell 41 1166 The shrine of Manchan of Maethail was covered by Ruaidhri Ua Conchobhair and an embroidering of gold was carried over it by him in as good a style as a relic was ever covered in Ireland 33 1330 The coarb

Monastery of Mohill ruins of the old school house under thick ivy From 1540 the English were forcefully suppressing Monasteries throughout Ireland 33 n 10 and the end of the sixteenth century was a bad time for priests and papists 45 Some sources suggest the monastery was suppressed as late as 1621 5 46 however Mohill was described as the Queens s manor consisting of about six quarters in as 1583 15 and in 1590 an immense english army occupied Mohill and routed the Muintir Eolais chieftains 33 47 48 The late monastery of Moghill was divided between Edward Barrett c 1592 and Terence O Byrne of Muintir Eolais c 1594 49 50 n 11 Barret s parcel subsequently passing to an englishman named John Crofton c 1594 15 who bequeathed same to his son Henry by a deed dated 2 June 1607 52 On dissolution the Priory possessions were the townlands of Tullybradan Coolabaun Gortfadda and Drumcroy totaling c 160 c 240 acres a church two stone buildings and the cemetery 5 53 near the end of the sixteenth century A bad time it was for priests and papists John O Hart Irish pedigrees 1892 page 414 Revival editConfederate Ireland rule was established c 1642 c 1649 and during the Eleven Years War the Priory of Mohill was re established in some manner Ecclesiastical documents record Canon Antony Mag Raghnaill otherwise Reynolds being appointed Prior of Maothail Manchain on 21 August 1648 40 Final suppression 1649 1653 editThe Priory was suppressed again during devastating Cromwellian conquest of Ireland c 1649 c 1653 Heritage editPriory clergy were expelled and risked execution under the Penal Laws In 1666 four Reynolds priests James Loghlin Richard Walter are among forty nine Catholics from hiding places in the woods in county Roscommon who signed a letter in support of the Pope and protesting the loss of their due liberties 54 And in 1713 an elderly Father Connor Reynolds of Jamestown in the county of Leitrim who had been exiled in Spain since 1681 was captured hiding in a trunk on a fishing boat arriving at Dungarvan port and imprisoned at Waterford gaol 55 Today nothing survives of the early ecclesiastical site here 56 except for an inaccessible old school house and the base of a round tower located near the old persons home in the town The remains of the abbey or sanctuary forms the south and east walls of the Hyde family vault in the graveyard of Saint Mary s church later built on the Priory ruins 5 8 10 15 28 The Croftons also built an old Castle at Rinn Lough from the ruins of Mohill Priory as small free stones of the same class were evidenced in each 15

Irish Maothail Maethail Middle English Moithla Moethla Maethla Moyghell Moghill 1 and Latin Mathail Nouella 2 Mohill was near the ancient border of the Kingdom of Meath and it is believed monasteries were all situated roughly speaking on the borders between provinces Of the boundary of Meath with the provinces here and the Shannon to Loch Bo dearg from that to Maothail thence to Athluain sic 6 Note that Athlone was not on the ancient border of the Kingdom of Meath so Athluain presumably refers to Ath Cluain or Cloone Connected to the ancient Irish monasteries there was usually a penitential prison called Oeanceac or house of tears where the penitent could voluntarily undergo penance 12 The Canons regular of St Augustine differs from the Order of Saint Augustine OSA of today though one could say that they are ecclesiastical first cousins The Priory of Abbeyshrule was once referenced as the monastery of St Peter Dearg in papal registers 21 Odo must be the Eogan Mag Ragnaill mentioned in the Annals of Connacht Anachuduib refers to Annaduff in county Leitrim 31 a b The chronologies suggest Cormac and Farrell are identical We have Thady Reynolds supposedly from Leitrim barony not Mohill barony 1528 Master Tadeus McGranyll sitting in the name of the primate at Ternmonfeckin metropolitan court 37 was consecrated Bishop of Kildare in 1641 Otherwise in 1556 there is a record of Dermot Reynolds son of the unnamed Prior of Mohill The Annals of the Four Masters records 1540 The English throughout every part of Ireland where they extended their power were persecuting and banishing the Orders and particularly they destroyed the monastery of Monaghan and beheaded the guardian and some of the friars 33 44 This refers to the Franciscan Friary in county Monaghan and not the Augustinian Priory at Mohill in county Leitrim 1592 Grant to Edward Barrett of parcel of the possessions of the late religious house of Moghill in county Longford which consisted of Lisdadanan coolabaun Tullybradan Cappagh Gortfadda and Drumcroy 51 Secondly in 1594 Grant to Terence alias Tirlaughe O Byrne of the site and precinct of the late monastery of Moghill with all its possessions
