The Priory of the Blessed Virgin Mary at Tristernagh played an important role in the Anglo-Norman colonisation of Meath. A fourteenth-century register allows us map the extent of its lands in the middle ages, and early drawings of its church explain why its demolition in the eighteenth century caused scandal.
