NEW-ABBEY

Volume 13 · 91 words · 1797 Edition

situated near Kilcullen-bridge, in the county of Kildare, and province of Leinster, in Ireland. It was founded by Rowland Eustace, of a great and ancient family in this county; the tower is still standing, and some part of the abbey; the ruins of the rest have contributed to build several dwellings near it. In the inside Rowland Eustace and his lady lie buried; their figures, clothed in armour, are to be seen there. Near this is a handsome seat of the Carter family, on the opposite side of the river Liffey.
