St Biseachs – Kilbixy

\nIn the 1960’s the ceiling of the original church collapsed and it was considered beyond the means of the parishioners to restore the elaborate ceiling. The result is that the building has been divided into two parts, one part forms the present open courtyard and the remainder was re-roofed to form the church. Beside the church are the unique ruins of one of the few leper hospitals in Ireland.
\nThe ruined walls of this hospital are four feet thick with two large window openings – a structure similar to the keep of a Norman Castle.
\nBeside the church, is a Mausoleum built at the same time, with a vault underneath the floor where four of the Malone family are buried, including Lord Sunderlin and his brother, the celebrated literary expert “Shakespeare” Malone.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
