Endowing an alms house could grant indulgences, easing the journey of the founder’s soul after death, and offering the same grace to those who prayed for him. Sir Richard’s foundation was carefully written into his will, ensuring that prayers for his soul would be said regularly by the residents.

In 1324, Kilkenny became the stage for one of the most infamous trials in medieval Ireland, the case of Alice Kyteler accused of being a Witch.

Kilkenny Old Jail and Courthouse

  • 10m
A courthouse now but once was called Graces Castle. The Grace family were one of Kilkenny’s most prominent Old English merchant dynasties — part of the influential Ten Tribes who dominated the city’s political, economic, and social life from the late medieval period into the 17th century

In the Middle Ages, the city’s walls defined not just its defences, but its identity, marking the boundary between those who belonged to the civic community and those outside it.
