Multyfarnham Friary, a Franciscan Friary located in the village of Multyfarnham, County Westmeath, holds a history spanning over 700 years. The Franciscan friars first arrived in the area in 1238, responding to the bequest of Norman Families.Built in the 15th century by William Delamer, a local Norman Patron, the Friary and Church stand as a dedication to Mary, Mother of God, and Saint Francis of Assisi. Despite surviving numerous tumultuous events throughout history, the Friary has been a steadfast spiritual refuge for generations.Discover my authentic artwork depicting Multyfarnham Friary, proudly showcased in my highly anticipated exhibition, "Stone Tape II - The Westmeath Tale," arriving in Athlone this September. Join us for the grand opening on the 7th, and I look forward to meeting you there.
