Sherkin Island

Sherkin Island Franciscan Friary

Founded in 1460 or 1470 by Finnen or Dermot O Driscoll for the Franciscan Friars of Strict Observance, the church consists of a nave and chancel, as well as a south transept with two chapels. The main doorway of the church is unusual in that it is in the south and not the west wall. Most of the original windows have now disappeared and although nothing remains of the cloister arcade the eastern portion of the domestic wing is preserved.
