Moor Abbey

Moor Abbey Franciscan friary was founded in the 13th century in County Tipperary. It is today a National Monument.
The ruined church consists of a nave and chancel, separated by a tall bell-tower. In the chancel is a double piscina. Beside the doorway in the north wall of the chancel is a font.
Moor Abbey was established by Donnchadh Cairprech Ó Briain, King of Thomond 1210–42. In 1471 a new church was constructed at the site, but burned down in 1472. The buildings that survive today date from that period.
In 1541 the friary was dissolved and later became the property of John, brother of James FitzGerald, 14th Earl of Desmond.
