ALSO KNOWN AS ST MARYS ABBEY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n


\n\n\n\n

Until recently I thought that St Mary’s Abbey different to the Yellow Steeple. Some of the photographs include a old stone structure known as the sheep gate which I will discuss at a later date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

St. Mary\u2019s Abbey on the northern bank of the River Boyne, overlooking Trim Castle in Co. Meath, Ireland was an Augustinian Abbey dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary. Today what remains of the abbey is referred to as the Yellow Steeple, due to the yellow hue the surviving bell tower assumes during sunset. The tower continues to dominate the Trim skyline and is thought to have been the tallest building in Ireland in the Later Medieval Period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Augustinian Abbey was founded in the early 12th century on the site of the original parish church. The abbey was burned in 1368 and shortly after this date the tower was constructed and a statue of the Virgin Mary was erected at the site. This statue became famous for the miracles it worked, resulting in the abbey becoming an important place of pilgrimage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The statue was publicly burned in 1538, during the Dissolution of the Monasteries under Henry VIII. Today very little remains of the abbey, with the exception of the bell tower and \u2018Talbot\u2019s Castle\u2019, a later medieval manor house that may incorporate a small portion of the original building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
