1 De Bello Becco
De Bello Becco: a French foundation in the Boyne Valley Geraldine Stout Introduction This paper discusses the history of the little known French Cistercian foundation of de Bello Becco near Drogheda, and the role it played in the commercial development of the Boyne valley and in the international maritime trade during the medieval period. The paper also presents the results of a recent geophysical survey and sets out a course for future investigation of the site. Historical background The Cistercian foundation of de Bello Becco, also known as Beaubec, a daughter house of the convent of de Bello Becco in Normandy, France, was located in the townland of Bey More, Co. Meath (fig. 1, ITM 709546 772877) (St. John Brooks, 1953, 148; McCullen, 2011, 383). There is no known foundation date for this monastic site but a grant by Walter De Lacy to the church of SS Mary and Laurence of Beaubec and the monks residing there on the lands in Gillekeran has been dated to after 1215 (Dryburgh and Smith, 2006, 23). This includes a further grant of a burgage in Mornington (villa Marenari) along with the liberty of a boat for their own use, free from tolls, customs and demands and freedom to access Walter De Lacy’s lands to buy and sell merchandise. The placename Gillekeran suggests that this Cistercian foundation was on an earlier ecclesiastical site possibly associated with St Ciaran (www.monasticon.celt.dias.ie). The 1215 grant is alluded to in a confirmation grant by Henry III in 1235 (Sweetman, 1875, 341). Walter De Lacy bestowed this relatively small grant of land on the Cistercians for the good of his soul, and those of their relatives and ancestors. -

Dundalk and Carlingford Presbyterian Church Records (Including Some Records for Castlebellingham, Jonesboro’, and Omeath)
Louth County Archives Service Dundalk and Carlingford Presbyterian Church Records (including some records for Castlebellingham, Jonesboro’, and Omeath) Collection Reference Code: PP00075/ Title: Dundalk and Carlingford Presbyterian Church Records (including some records for Castlebellingham, Jonesboro’, and Omeath) Dates: (1655-), 1831 – 1839, 1855 – 1949, 1956 - 1959, c.1991 Level of Description: Fonds Extent: 1 archival box containing 165 items Name of Creator(s): Dundalk, Carlingford, Castlebellingham, Jonesboro’, and Omeath Presbyterian Churches Admin/Biographical History: Dundalk is reputed to be the second place in Ireland in which a Presbyterian Church was formally constituted. In 1655 Henry Cromwell, commander of the army, brought with him to Ireland several Independent ministers who settled in the principal towns. One of these was a Joseph Bowesfield, the first non-Episcopal minister associated with Dundalk. It is thought that the first congregation was probably Independent at first before adopting the Presbyterian form. About 1700, the Rev John Wilson took charge of the joint congregations of Dundalk and Carlingford and in 1707 the Presbyterians in Dundalk sought and achieved separate congregational status. The founders of Presbyterianism in the Dundalk district were Malcolm and Archibald MacNeill, officers in the Williamite army. Malcolm MacNeill pressed the claims of Dundalk upon the General Synod. He built a church at Ballymascanlon, while a meeting house was built in Linenhall Street, Dundalk by Archibald MacNeill in about 1700 and continued in use until 1839 when it was replaced by the church in Jocelyn Street. In 1863 a school was added near the location of this church and this was followed in 1865 by the construction of a teacher’s residence. -
Roodstown Castle Video Script
Roodstown Castle Adèle Commins and Daithí Kearney Roodstown Castle is a prominent feature of the built heritage of Co. Louth. Its excellent state of preservation gives it added stature and it provides an excellent example of a tower house in Ireland. National records provide an interesting account of the change of name of the townland of Roodstown since 1301. Over the years the following variants of the name existed: Rotheston (1301), Routheston (1305), Rotheston (1582), Roothstowne (1635), Roothtowne (1655), Roothestowne (1658), Roods towne (1659), Rootstowne (1664), Roodestowne (1666), Roodstowne (1667), Roothstowne (1670), Roothtown (1685), Rootstown (1777), Roodstown (1836). At this time it was noted that Rooth was a family name.1 The 1837 Topographical Dictionary of Ireland noted that the townland contained 25 houses at the time with 148 inhabitants and described it as a village.2 This dictionary also suggested that the townland was called Rootstown or Ruthstown. In the Barony of Ardee and Civil Parish of Stabannan, the townland of Roodstown is surrounded by a number of other townlands including Gudderstown, Rock, Broadlough, Drumcashel, Philibenstown and Irishtown. Roodstown Castle is the most prominent structure today in the townland. The castle overlooks the N33 and the River Dee and is an imposing feature in the landscape visible today from a number of surrounding roads including the N52 and N33. Roodstown Castle is positioned on the roadside at a junction. To the right of the castle is Ardee and to the left of the castle is Stabannan. In days gone by this was the main road from Ardee to Castlebellingham. -
INTRODUCTION Drogheda Has Been Identified As a Key Economic Growth
Name: Kieran Surname: Smith Message: NPF 2040 Submission -- This e-mail was sent from a contact form on National Planning Framework (http://npf.ie) INTRODUCTION Drogheda has been identified as a key economic growth centre as. It has seen rapid population growth, and in parallel, significant investment in infrastructure such as upgrading the Belfast- Dublin rail line; the arrival of the M1 motorway and the ongoing expansion of the local hospital which serves the region. However, as the town and hinterland "straddles" the counties of Louth and Meath, it has failed to secure inward investment commensurate with it's population and infrastructure, as it's scale has been "hidden" in population data, divided across the two counties.It is also the major social, commercial and economic centre for a ring of growing towns and villages in its hinterland, i.e. Stamullen, Donore, Julianstown, Gormanstown, Donacarney, Duleek, Slane, Collon, Monasterboice, Tullyallen, Termonfeckin, Dunleer. The recent Drogheda Boundary Review did the town - and Ireland - a major disservice by concluding that the status quo should remain rather than having the town run by ONE administration ... this option was described as the preferred one in the executive summary. That report also claimed to have looked at models internationally before concluding that - effectively - a "two town" approach was the preferred recommendation rather than recognising Ireland's largest town with it's ongoing population growth which will position Drogheda as a city in the near future. The most effective manner to achieve this status and achieve other benefits and efficiencies is to merge Louth and Meath Local Authorities into one larger entity. -

Geological history The imposing hills of the Cooley Peninsula, in the north-east of the county rise steeply above Dundalk Bay and overlook a more subdued landscape stretching across the rest of Co. Louth. The oldest rocks form a low range of hills just a few kilometres to the north-west of Drogheda, but they are poorly exposed. These Ordovician rocks, around 465 to 450 million years old, are dominated by volcanic lavas and ash falls erupted from volcanic islands and deposited on the ocean floor. Much of the low ground in the north of the county, between Dundalk and Ardee, is underlain by Silurian rocks, around 440 to 425 million years old. These were deposited on a deep ocean floor, where layers of slowly deposited dark mud were periodically interrupted by influxes of muddy sand avalanching down into the ocean basin from shallower water. Later, as the continental plates either side of this ocean moved together, these interbedded layers Louth: COUNTY GEOLOGY OF IRELAND 3 The deeply weathered Carboniferous limestone in Tullyallen Quarry contains pockets of clay which are believed to be perhaps thirty million years old. -

The larger towns of Dundalk and Drogheda are both 20 km away. Knockabbey is only a 10 minute drive from the M1 Motorway and Dublin is within a one hour drive to the city centre. History Knockabbey Castle and gardens reflect the constantly changing fortunes of its owners for more than six centuries. The original dwelling which dates back to 1399 was built for the Bellew Family and then known as Thomastown Castle. It was a simple square tower house; however, reflecting their prestige and position, the Bellews enlarged the Castle in 1650 with a six bay, three storey Queen Anne extension. -

The brochures of the shared Oriel Trail, the Stephenson Pond, and in particular the Knockbridge Rural Village, are all admirable. Now that the village has reached the higher level in the Competition, you will find that increases in marks are much slower and harder to come by: this is a factor common to all centres which do exceptionally well and is not a matter to be despondent about. When drawing your map, please be sure in future to mark all sites which should be visited - for example, Martin's Cross is not shown and could easily have been missed. Congratulations on obtaining substantial developmental grants. THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT Certainly as good as last year. It is good to see that important items of artistic merit, such as the Clarke and Mayer windows in the Church, are given prominence. The completion of the Burns House will be greatly looked forward to. LANDSCAPING The landscaping continues to be sensitive and attractive. The neighbourhood of the School continues this good tradition.
