This one shows St Audoen's Road / Lane to the Gate again....The original track to the city wall was built over when the church was extended....mid 16 century.
This map shows the location of the graveyard. The building marked HALL, was a widows almshouse....and can be seen in one pic earlier on.Attached FilesWe'll sail be the tide....aarghhhh !!

This one is showing us the 'New' Church, (my great grandparents church).....and what looks like the roofless side of the 'old' church.....c 1775....
It was at this time that the first in a series of contractions in size of St. Audoen’ s took place with the unroofing of the east end of the church.
Further alterations were carried out in 1820, the arcades between the north and south aisles being bricked up and the south aisle unroofed.The west end of the north aisle and the tower remained roofed to be used for worship.
All the money people were moving out of the area, and the houses were being let out in tenements....well of course once the Protestants moved out, and the Catholics started to use the Catholic St Audoen's it was the the start of the death knell for the old.Attached FilesWe'll sail be the tide....aarghhhh !!

The church is dedicated to St. Audoen, or Ouen, the 7th century bishop of Rouen and patron saint of Normandy. In England by the twelfth century the cult of St Audoen had developed considerably. In Bristol, for example, the church of St. Ewen (Ouen) was founded by the Norman, Robert Earl of Gloucester, c. 1130-1140. Links between Bristol and Dublin were formally established from 1172 when the town of Dublin was granted by ’...Henry II, King of England ...... to his men of Bristowa (Bristol), making the Anglo Norman affiliation of the parish very clear.
Already by the mid-twelfth century trade links between the Bristol area and Dublin had been well established. The early history of St. Audoen’s is not well documented but from the scant information available we know that the church was in existence by the end of the twelfth century when a deed of 1200 AD was witnessed by ’...Turstin, parson of St. Audoen’s...’.
A reference to half a burgage in St. Audoen’s parish being granted to the priory of the Holy Trinity (Christ Church Cathedral) indicates that the parish had been established by 1202. St. Audoen’s was granted by John Comyn, the first Anglo-Norman archbishop of Dublin (1181-1212), to the convent of Grace Dieu in north county Dublin in 1191 AD.
However by the c. 1220 the convent had resigned to Archbishop Henry all right in St. Audoen’s Church as Comyn’s successor, Henry, wished to ensure that St. Audoen’s would be fully integrated within the diocesan structure by conferring responsibility for St. Audoen’s on the treasurer of the newly-established cathedral of St. Patrick.
The earliest reference to the building is when it is mentioned in the will of Katherine, widow of John le Grant, dated 1275 in which she left legacies to the chaplain and 24 Watts and Rahtz (1985).
The archaeological record has also shown that imported ceramics from the potteries located around the Bristol region, in particular Ham Green, were in daily usage by the twelfth century inhabitants of Dublin. Excavations at St. Audoen’s have confirmed this trend with over 20% of the ceramic assemblage being imported from the Bristol area.We'll sail be the tide....aarghhhh !!
