St Munchin`s Church????
Description
I have been trying to verify the name of this church arrived at by a bit of guesswork tobe St. Munchin`s but on a bit of googling I now have my doubts as St Munchin`s shares the same Shannon bank as St John`s Castle .... I cannot find this one listed...on maps the Limerick Treaty Stone gets preference at this spot....more detective work ahead.....
ahaa!!!
A 19 century Gothic revival church stands on the site of his (st Munchin) original oratory, it belongs to the Church of Ireland and is no longer used for worship. Across the river beside the Treaty stone stands the Catholic Church of Saint Munchin which serve the ancient Thomondgate area. So Munchin is not forgotten by the citizens he cursed so long ago.
