North Monastery

Memorial

What is recorded here

North Monastery is a co-educational education campus at Our Lady's Mount, Cork, Ireland, founded on 9 November 1811 when Brother Jerome O'Connor and Brother John Baptist Leonard received charge of a school in Chapel Lane from the Bishop of Cork, Rev Dr Moylan. Seventeen students attended on the first day, and in 1814 a 14-acre sloping site was acquired from Sir George Goold, Baronet, giving the school its permanent home. The place has since been marked by loss, invention and public honour: Brother Griffin died young and lies in its grounds, Brother James Burke taught natural philosophy and died in 1904 after a public funeral, and past pupils including Patrick J. Kennedy, Tomás Mac Curtain and Terence McSwiney carried its name into Cork's civic life.
North Monastery is recorded as a memorial in County Cork. Its open map record supplies this location and any linked names or public references.
