English: Drawing from c. 1587 of Clones, County Monaghan, preserved at the State Paper Office in London. This drawing was published in 1879 in the book by Shirley who gives following explanation (on p. 172): One of the first notices of what may be called comparatively, the modern history of the Abbey of Clones, is derived from a letter of Sir Henry Duke to Lord Burghley, dated from Dublin, the 29th of February, 1586–7, in which he says: “In my travell in those ptes I founde oute for her Matie the Abbey of Clonys in Dartry in Mc Mahowns Countrey wh was concealed from her highnes ever since the Suppression.” [..] On the 23rd of September following Queen Elizabeth granted to this same Sir Henry Duke, of Castle Jordan, in the County of Meath, Knight, the site of the dissolved Abbey of Clones on a lease for a term of twenty-one years. Its appearance at this time is well illustrated by a curious view of it preserved at the State Paper Office, of which a fac-simile is here given; with the exception of the round tower, the conical roof of which was perfect, the abbey and the chancel of the church are the only roofed buildings, nor are there any indications of houses or even huts; they were perhaps considered too unimportant to be laid down on paper. |
