St. Austin's Abbey, Tullow, Co. Carlow
St. Austin's Abbey (now in ruin) was built in the 1850's by Charles
Henry Doyne youngest son of Robert Doyne. The architects were Sir
Thomas Newenham Deane and Benjamin Woodward." When Charles Henry
died in 1867 with no male heirs St. Austin's Abbey passed to his
nephew James W.C. Doyne.
Jimmy O'Toole in his excellent book "The
Carlow Gentry" tells us more of the Doyne family history. "It was
during the reign of Queen Anne (1703 - 1713) that the Doynes were
granted estates of 3,200 acres in County Carlow including St.
Austin's Abbey. The architects were Sir Thomas Newenham Deane and
Benjamin Woodward." When Charles Henry died in 1867 with no male
heirs, St. Austin's Abbey passed to his nephew James W.C. Doyne.
