Louth Ireland

After it served as the seat and castle of the medieval and later Protestant primates of Armagh until 1656, Termonfeckin turned to be the site of an early Irish monastery dedicated to St. Feckin. There stands at present only the high cross of this monastery in St. Feckin’s churchyard. The Church of Ireland parish church is listed in this to a design by Francis Johnston built in 1792. The Roman Catholic Church of the Immaculate Conception, designed by William Hague and erected in 1883, situates at the southern boarder of this village. The fifteenth century tower house, Termonfeckin Castle has connections to the Brabazon family.
