This quiet street is just off John Street close to the new McDonagh Junction Shopping Centre in Kilkenny City. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the year 1300 to the Reformation the civil parish of St. John the Evangelist comprised the parishes of St. John\u2019s, Fennel and Kilmalogga according to Carrigan. St. John\u2019s Priory, an Augustinian foundation, 1325, later known as St. John\u2019s Abbey has a beautiful slender-mullioned east window and original side walls. Saint Michael\u2019s Gate was an approach into the priory, hence the name Michael Street adjoining. The old infantry barracks, now Evan\u2019s Asylum, was part of the abbey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was unable to visit Kilkenny in 2019 or 2020 because of travel restrictions and in 2023 I could not find suitable hotel accommodation however I hope to visit at the end of March 2024 but because it is inclined to rain a lot in Kilkenny in March and April it might be an ideal time to photograph the city but it is the only option available at the moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
