Cashel Derelict Hoar Tipperary
EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Hoar Abbey, Cashel: A Glimpse into the Past Nestled in the heart of County Tipperary, Ireland, lies the enchanting ruins of Hoar Abbey, a once-magnificent Cistercian monastery that now stands as a testament to the rich history of the region. This evocative photograph, captured from the northwest, offers a captivating view of the derelict abbey in its current state, transporting us back in time. The Hoar Abbey, also known as the New Abbey, was founded in 1272 and flourished for several centuries. Its name is derived from the Old Irish word "coradh," meaning "dear" or "beloved," reflecting the deep devotion and commitment of the monks who once called this place home. However, the abbey's fortunes changed in the late 16th century when it was plundered during the Reformation, marking the beginning of its decline. This photograph, taken circa early 1900s, captures the abbey in its derelict state, with the passage of time etched upon its ancient walls. The ruins stand proudly against the backdrop of the Irish countryside, their once-majestic arches and columns now overgrown with ivy and moss. The tranquil beauty of the scene is only enhanced by the presence of the clear, blue sky and the verdant landscape, creating a breathtaking tableau that speaks to the enduring allure of Ireland's past. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the rich history and cultural heritage that lies hidden within the walls of Hoar Abbey. The ruins serve as a poignant reminder of the passage of time and the enduring power of the past to captivate and inspire us. This photograph is not only a beautiful work of art but also a valuable historical document, offering us a glimpse into the past and a deeper understanding of the stories and traditions that have shaped the landscape of County Tipperary and Ireland as a whole.
