A 14th century Benedictine Priory that was situated in the centre of Youghal, County Cork, Ireland
History
St. John's Benedictine Priory in Youghal was founded on the Main Street around 1350 as a minor house to the St. John the Evangelist Benedictine priory in Waterford.
Oliver Cromwell made his headquarters here during the winter of 1649 and he inspected his troops every morning from the Priory.
Small portions of the building still survive, which includes a Gothic moulded door, ornamental spandrels and a gable-end with period window. The dark archway beyond the door leads to a passage of the original structure.
The building is currently home to a restaurant.
