Glanworth Dominican Priory

Map reference: R756045 (1756, 1045)

To the north of the castle, on the Mitchelstown Road, is a long rectangular church with a central tower. This is part of the Dominican priory founded in 1475 by the Roches, who also built the castle. It has a five-light traceried east window and three two-light windows with ogee heads in the south wall.



They are set within pointed recesses. There is a credence table and piscina in the south wall and a small doorway in the north wall. There are three small windows in the south wall at the west end and a large gap marks the position of the west window. There are good roof weepers along the top of the north and south walls at the east end of the church.
