A Brief History of Monasterevin!
Monasterevin, with its unusually high number of bridges, its canals and warehouses, are historical reminders of an era when this quiet town was the hub of a thriving economy dominated by the Cassidy's Distillery. It if often called 'The Venice of Ireland'. The present day Moore Abbey is thought to have been the site of the Cistercian Abbey founded in 1189. The Cistercians called it 'Rosea Villis', the "The Valley of the Roses". As with all Cistercian Abbeys of the time it had an enormous influence on the economy and life of the town. They provided alms, food and health services. After the Dissolution the property eventually passed into the hands fo the Moores - Earls of Drogheda. They built not only Monasterevin but much of Dublin. In 1767 the sixth earl pulled downt he old Ros Glas Abbey Church and used the stones in the building of the church prior to the present St. John's. The gothic-styled Moore Abbey we know today was started in the early 17th century. In 1924, John McCormack, the world famous operatic tenor leased the house from Lord Drogheda. In 1938 the Sisters of Charity of Jesus bought Moore Abbey where they now have a training school for nurses of the mentally disabled. Other items of historical interest include Monasterevin House, the 1826 drawbridge, the Aqueduct, Bell Harbour on the waterways near the town and all former Cassidy Distillery building. 3 main publications outline the history of the town (all of which are in our school library).
