 Georgian Society inspects The Temple
Monday, 8th August 2005
The Temple in Cootehill, which was built in honour of the wife of Richard Dawson in the twelfth century, was the subject of a recent inspection by members of the Irish Georgian Society. They were accompanied by members of the Dartry Heritage Group and the Cootehill Heritage Association, who hope that the building can be re-roofed and saved from further deterioration. The Dawson Mausoleum on Black Island is part of the Dartry Estate which is now the responsibility of Coillte and it has become almost totally invisible due to the growth of pine trees in the immediate vicinity.
