MARCIE REGANS PUB
MARCIE REGANS PUB AT ST. PETER’S BRIDGE – NEWTOWN TRIM COUNTY MEATH
This pub was owned by a member of my extended family but I have never been in it [my mother, a Regan, claims that her father brought me there when I was young but I have no recollection of visiting].
It could be described as a small [tiny] traditional pub located in a beautiful spot beside St Peter’s Bridge near the town of Trim. My mother claims that it was popular with professionals who wished to avoid visiting pubs in the actual town.
Currently it claims to be Ireland’s second oldest pub (next to Sean’s Bar in Athlone – I do remember remember visiting it) but my mother was unaware of such a claim. It now has a beer garden with a view of the ruins of St John’s Priory which is close by.

The tranquil Trim Castle River Walk commences at Trim Castle and finishes at the ruins of the 13th century town of Newtown, providing a glimpse of life in Trim in the Middle Ages.
As the Boyne flows by Trim Castle there is plenty of wildlife in the area.
The River Boyne is a river in Leinster, Ireland, the course of which is about 112 kilometres (70 mi) long. It rises at Trinity Well, Newberry Hall, near Carbury, County Kildare, and flows towards the Northeast through County Meath to reach the Irish Sea between Mornington, County Meath, and Baltray, County Louth.
VISIT TO NEWTOWN ABBEY
CHRISTMAS DAY 2014 VISIT TO NEWTOWN ABBEY TRIM COUNTY MEATH
Newtown Abbey is a medieval monastery and National Monument located in Trim, County Meath, Ireland.
The Abbey was founded by Simon Rochfort, Bishop of Meath, for Canons Regular (“Augustinians”) of the Order of St. Victor about 1206, and was dedicated to Saint Peter and Saint Paul.
A synod was held at Newtown in 1216, which turned the sees of the churches of Trim, Kells, Slane, Skryne, and Dunshaughlin into rural deaneries.
In 1307, Richard Sweetman, the prior, was accused of murdering Robert Mody, one of the friars, and of assisting his brother, William Sweetman, to kill another canon. The prior gave Hugh de Lacie and John le Blounde, of Rathregan, as bail for his appearance at the next assizes. There is no record of the result of the trial.
William Shirwood, Bishop of Meath, was interred at Newtown Abbey in 1482.
The Abbey was suppressed in the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1537.
The main building is the Church of St Peter and St Paul (sometimes called a cathedral). The abbey church features lancet windows, with Norman-style sedilia to the right of the altar, and a double piscina for washing communion vessels.
A smaller church in the east of the monastery is the parish church of Newtown Clonbun. This is the burial site of Lucas Dillon (c. 1530 – 1592), Attorney General for Ireland and Chief Baron of the Irish Exchequer, and his first wife Jane Bathe. Their tomb effigies are separated by a sword of state, and so they gained the local nickname of the “jealous man and woman”.
