Ennis Friary Description
At the end of Abbey Street in Ennis stands Ennis Friary (National Monument), a Franciscan house founded in 1241 which in the mid-14th C. was a flourishing community with 375 friars and 600 students. The church dates from the original foundation but has been much altered. It has some very fine sculpture, including a figure of St Francis with the stigmata (on the southwest side of the tower), the MacMahon tomb of about 1475 (on the south wall), a royal tomb with scenes from the Passion and a small representation of the Scourging, with the "cock-in-the-pot".
