Moor Abbey
Moor Abbey
Founded by the Franciscans in the 13th century on the banks of the Aherlow river, the present building (technically a Friary, not an Abbey) probably dates back to 1471. Shortly after being built, for reasons not known, the abbey burnt but was quickly restored and flourished for the next century.
