These Workhouses were built in two distinct phases, 130 before the famine (1839-1843) and a further 33 between 1849 and 1850, though it is worth noting that a small number involved adapting existing buildings. There are upstanding remains of over 80 of these Workhouses and some remain as working institutions. This dataset uses information gratefully supplied by Peter Higginbotham.

Description: <abstract>
This dataset is based on the publication ‘The Ecclesiastical Heritage of County Galway and should be used as a companion to this publication. The map and publication explore the various spaces of the church and their function. From the approach into the church grounds, through the entrance porch that prepares the entrant for the holiness within, to the aisle that leads towards the holy heart of the building, the altar, set within the most sacred space of the church. It explores the artwork that adorns the churches, and how its form has changed with time. Symbolism inserted into the stonework, stained glass and metalwork by the various artists, relaying the teachings of the church is examined. Where possible, the talented
artists, from the county and further afield, whose works fill the churches with colour and beauty are identified.

Description: <abstract>'Built Heritage' simply means the buildings and other structures created by people, whether wealthy, in the case of the builders of country houses, or less so, in the case of vernacular (traditional) buildings or, indeed, the majority of everyday buildings of town and countryside. Built heritage tells the story of society: the changing lifestyle of a community over time. This heritage enriches all our lives and thus it is important to develop an appreciation for it and, indeed, to conserve what is of value from our past. The River Suir was important for access and transport throughout the history of settlement in the region.</abstract>
