Tipperary,IRELAND. Generation No. 5 16. John Smithwick, born Abt. 1690 in Abbey Athassel,Athassel,Co. Tipperary,IRELAND; died 1769 in Abbey Athassel,Athassel,Co. Tipperary,IRELAND. He was the son of 32. William Smithwick. Notes for John Smithwick: Athassel Abbey, co. Tipperary, Ireland - Athassel Abbey just outside the village of Golden and five miles from Cashel was built around 1200 by the Anglo Norman William de Burgh. The priory and Athassel town were burnt by the local Irish ruling family, the O'Briens in the 14th century. Parts of the priory's cloisters, gatehouse and chapter house are still standing. The town was never rebuilt after being burnt the second time. Athassel abbey - Athassel, Ireland Set in an idyllic landscape of verdant green rolling hills along the banks of the River Suir, the ruins of Athassel Abbey stand as a romantic symbol of Ireland’s legendary past. Dedicated to St. Edmund, the abbey was founded in 1192 by William Fitz Aldem de Burgo, a Norman aristocrat, for the Augustinian Order. Athassel grew to become the largest medieval priory in Ireland and a force in local politics. Unfortunately, this led to friction with the local ruling family, the O’Briens, who put Athassel to the torch in the mid-fifteenth century. Surviving features include the chancel with its lancet windows, multiple carved elements, the remains of the cloister, and the bridge with its associated gatehouse. Although the site is recognized by the government as a national monument and protected structure, Athassel suffers from many of the problems associated with ruins. Exposed to centuries of Ireland’s constant rains and brutal winters, the rate of deterioration is accelerating. The effects of natural aging, water penetration, and vegetation have been compounded by cattle grazing about the monument. Seasonal flooding of the site further exacerbates these factors. To date, a conservation plan has yet to be developed and a comprehensive solution involving all of Ireland’s heritage bodies is required to secure Athassel’s future.
