Council to launch Clare Holy Wells Project Webpage

27 January 2022

On Tuesday 1st February at 7.00pm, Clare County Council will formally launch the Clare Holy Wells Project webpage. 

The launch is online via Zoom and celebrates the surveying and documenting of 237 holy wells in the county.

Over the past two years, surveyors Michael Houlihan and Tony Kirby have undertaken a labour of love, documenting hundreds of Clare’s holy wells. The result is a fascinating survey of a part of our heritage that holds a special place in the hearts of many Clare people.

Survey results can now be found on the Clare Holy Wells Project webpage https://heritage.clareheritage.org/category/places/holy-wells of the Clare Heritage website.

For the first time ever, information on all of Clare’s Holy Wells will be gathered in one place. The webpage can be searched by region as well as alphabetically.  Maps, photographs and detailed information bring the stories of these wells alive.

Please join us on Tuesday next, 1st February, at 7.00pm to hear more about the survey and online resource.
