INCH ABBEY was the site of a pre-Norman monastery known by the island's earlier name of Inis-Cumhscraigh (pronounced 'Inish Cooshcree'). Its foundation date is unknown, but it was in existence by 800 A.D. Inch was devastated by a Viking raid, led by Sitric Silkbeard, in 1001 when many captives were taken. It was raided again in 1149 by the Irish, which suggests that the church was wealthy enough to be worth raiding. The earlier monastery was probably sited in the area of the parish graveyard, north of the present ruins and a chapel existed there in the Middle Ages, at the edge of the medieval monastic precinct. The visible ruins are the extensive remains of the Cistercian Abbey. The Cistercian order was founded in late 11th century France to pursue a strict communal life of worship, study and manual work. The Cistercian Rule insisted that Monasteries should be sited far from the distractions of everyday affairs, and in its beautiful riverside situation Inch perfectly illustrates this preference for solitude. The Abbey was founded by John de Courcy, conqueror of Ulster, in 1180, after he had burned its predecessor, Inis-Cumhscraigh. De Courcy was a strong supporter of the church. His wife Affreca, daughter of Godred, King of Man founded Grey Abbey in 1193, also Cistercian, and is buried there. Inch was established by monks from Furness in Lancashire, its 'mother house', and was almost certainly partly built by masons brought in by de Courcy from England.
Wow, I didn't think the Spark was capable of that kind of footage. I know the drone is just a tool for the photographer/videographer and this looks awesome. I especially like the choice of music. Most times the music one chooses can make or break a video. Great choice and great video. I'm so jealous of you guys over there with all those ruins😢✌
Allen P thankyou so much for taking the time to watch and comment very much appreciated. My first drone the wee spark great drone but I suffered with connection issues over Wi-Fi you have to be Close to the subject that you are filming to avoid connection issues thanks again 👍👍🇬🇧
doktor drone thankyou so much for your kind comments and feedback this was drone with my very first drones that I ever bought the DJI SPARK great wee drone cheers
Amazing.its like flying back in time.you are a natural with your drone and surely connect with past time. How high did you were bringing your drone up at the very end? 🐺🐾
