Our Lady Chapel as it originally stood on the grounds of St. Ardbegh's Hospital.
The chapel has since been renovated and moved to a site not quite so near the peat bogs to avoid the unfortunate loss of additional penitents. The chapel was established through the generous donation of
J. Prescott Montgomery Prescott-Prescot in 1899. Tragically, Mr. Prescott-Prescot was lost in the trenches of the Boer War as the result of a freak pudding accident just shortly after his donation to the hospital. His endowment is a testament to his successful recovery at St. Ardbegh's and will keep his memory alive for the many who pass our doors in search of healing.
