The abbey belonged to the Dominicans and is the only surviving ruin of that order in the modern province of Ulster. After suppression it became a courthouse. Suggestions that it was called Saint Columba's Access was not possible because the key is with the Chamber of Commerce and the Tourist Office had no access. That is the reason for the miserable three stars. The local people were friendly and helpful and showed where the old friary walls were now incorporated into the allotment walls behind the neighbouring houses. Locals made this worth a visit but sad that access is so restricted.
I live close to the Priory and always find something to examine
Thankfully, the Dominican Friary at Court Square in Newtownards has been 'cleaned up' and restored over recent years: Ivy removed, sympathetic windows added, pathways cleaned etc. Sadly though, most days, it can only be viewed from the road....Doors are locked, except on Heritage Days and a few other dates in the year...sad really
Been lucky enough to get a look around the inside of this historic building.
Went for remembrance service. Very nice.
Very interesting
