KILLEAVY OLD CHURCH - County Armagh - October 2020

Two medieval churches built back to back. The West Church dates from 11th Century and the East Church from 15th Century. It is also the site of an early monastery founded by St. Moninna in 517 as one of the most important monasteries for nuns in Medieval Ireland.
Although plundered by the Vikings in 923, monastic life continued and the site was occupied by the Augustinian Nuns until 1542. The church ruins now on the site comprise two distinct churches joined lengthwise. The smaller and older is characterised by a most impressive, low lintel doorway built of three massive shaped granite stones. The more recent building, an Augustinian Convent, has a very impressive arched window with angel carvings still visible on its outside. The large tree-lined graveyard is still in use today.

You do an important job going round filming all these places. One day it might be used for history lessons not only on CZcams. Great filming!
