Abington Abbey ( Irish Mainister Uaithne ; Anglis. As Woney ; Owney ) is a former Cistercian abbey near the town of Limerick in County Limerick on the banks of the Mulkear , a tributary of the Shannon , near Abington Cemetery.
history
The monastery was founded in Wyresdale, Lancashire , England in 1196 by Theobold Walter, the butler of Ireland and brother of the Archbishop of Canterbury , Hubert Walter, and moved to the east coast of the Isle of Arklow before 1204 . From there another relocation to Abington took place in 1205. Theobold Wolter was buried in Abington in 1206. Mother monastery was either Furness Abbey or Savigny Abbey . In any case, the monastery belonged to the filiation of Clairvaux Primary Abbey . The Mulryan family had a great influence on the monastery, which led to complaints from the convent. In 1540 the abbey was converted into a secular college, the provost of which was the last abbot, John O'Mulryan. As early as 1553, however, Walter Aphoell received the abbey property, followed by Peter Walsh in 1562. The abbey had a convent until 1557. In 1684 an abbot of Abington is named again. In the 18th century the abbey was demolished and a mansion was built, but it no longer exists.
