  1. The Carmelite Friary

    Share Share Post
    The old Carmelite Friary of Kinsale stood in the old graveyard now known as the Abbey. It was built out side the walls of the town. Old people say that when the Friars live there they could go to St Eltin's Church through an underground passage. It is said that when the English began to persecute the Catholics the two openings in the passage were closed up. People hope that some day this passage will be discovered as similar passages were discovered in to towns that had Churches connected like that in Kinsale.
