  • Inniskeen Spatial Plan DRAFT
    Inniskeen Village Public Realm Spatial Plan (DRAFT) 12th Fenruary 2021 Contents 1. Introduction 2. Analysis 3. Concept 4. Key Spaces 5. Spatial Plan 6. Costs & Phasing Introduction Inniskeen Public Realm Spatial Plan has been prepared to inform the future development of public realm in and around Inniskeen for both locals and visitors alike. Spatial Plan Context Inniskeen is a small village located in Co.Monaghan, it is a historic settlement rich in archaeology, landscape features and architectural character, which inspired much of Patrick Kavanagh’s early work as a writer. There are two areas of commercial activity, at the road junction at McNello’s Pub which includes a public house, a petrol station, shop, and credit union. The second commercial centre is at the former railway station cluster including Magee’s public house and shop. Community uses dominate the centre of the village including the river walk, pitch and putt course, Community Centre, National School, Church of Ireland, Round Tower, Graveyard, and the Patrick Kavanagh Centre. Residential development occurs within the village centre to the north west and principally to the west of the village. Brief The Project Brief was to deliver a design which enhances the architectural quality of the sensitive streetscape, provides a high-quality concept and incorporates the following principles: • Reinvent the village as a place for people. • Development of pedestrian linkages between the Village, Kavanagh Centre and the Monaghan Way/ Railway Station. • Designation of key urban spaces for enhancement and specifi c urban design proposals. • Realisation of the potential of heritage and cultural assets for both locals and visitors.

  • The List of Church of Ireland Parish Registers
    THE LIST of CHURCH OF IRELAND PARISH REGISTERS A Colour-coded Resource Accounting For What Survives; Where It Is; & With Additional Information of Copies, Transcripts and Online Indexes SEPTEMBER 2021 The List of Parish Registers The List of Church of Ireland Parish Registers was originally compiled in-house for the Public Record Office of Ireland (PROI), now the National Archives of Ireland (NAI), by Miss Margaret Griffith (1911-2001) Deputy Keeper of the PROI during the 1950s. Griffith’s original list (which was titled the Table of Parochial Records and Copies) was based on inventories returned by the parochial officers about the year 1875/6, and thereafter corrected in the light of subsequent events - most particularly the tragic destruction of the PROI in 1922 when over 500 collections were destroyed. A table showing the position before 1922 had been published in July 1891 as an appendix to the 23rd Report of the Deputy Keeper of the Public Records Office of Ireland. In the light of the 1922 fire, the list changed dramatically – the large numbers of collections underlined indicated that they had been destroyed by fire in 1922. The List has been updated regularly since 1984, when PROI agreed that the RCB Library should be the place of deposit for Church of Ireland registers. Under the tenure of Dr Raymond Refaussé, the Church’s first professional archivist, the work of gathering in registers and other local records from local custody was carried out in earnest and today the RCB Library’s parish collections number 1,114. The Library is also responsible for the care of registers that remain in local custody, although until they are transferred it is difficult to ascertain exactly what dates are covered.

  • Susan Hegarty
    Monaghan’s physical landscape: exploiting its natural resources SUSAN HEGARTY Introduction When the author of the Irish Times article in 1863 called Monaghan the ‘Cornwall of Erin’, he may have somewhat embellished reality.1 Indeed, this idea of an industrialised Monaghan may have been merely aspirational, as the landowners of Monaghan began to engage in exploitation of their mineral resources in the nineteenth century. However, it is true to say that the physical landscape of any area is the foundation for any future development – cultural and social. The raw materials of an area shape the historical experience of its economy and society. Therefore, in this chapter we will examine the evolution of the physical landscape of Monaghan, its endowment of raw materials, and how these have been exploited over the years. Even a cursory glance at the basic physical geography of Monaghan (fig. 1) will suffice to note that the county can be broken up into four areas. The northwestern corner of the county contains its highest point, around the Slieve Beagh uplands. To the east and south of this, is located a lowland area composed of limestone, with average heights of 70 metres above sea level. In the centre of the county, south of Monaghan town, the land rises to an average of 160 metres above sea level. Then further south around Carrickmacross, the land falls again, averaging 60 metres above sea level. All of these changes in landscape and elevation are due to the underlying rock types (fig. 2). Glaciation has also had a significant impact on the landscape of Monaghan, with drumlins being one of its most characteristic features.
