Boyle's Almshouses, Youghal

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Boyle's Almshouses, Youghal Richard Boyle, 1st Earl of Cork built these almshouses in 1643, the oldest in Ireland. They were built with a promise to provide "Five Pounds apiece for each of ye old decayed soldiers". The pledge was later extended to their widows. Distinctly Jacobean in style, there are six almshouses altogether, four front North Main Street, while the remaining two face Church Street. The almshouses retained their original use until the 19c, when they underwent alterations. In modern times they were further altered to provide homes for senior citizens.
