    It's called a "Missionary Settlement" on the 25" OSI Map (and the 6".)
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    History Ireland has a fairly long article on the Colony, including its founding, the attitude of the Catholic Church toward it, and its final demise. One interesting note during the Famine:

    "ut Nangle initially distributed aid to the starving of Achill in accordance with strict principles. The aim of the mission was to convert the inhabitants to the Protestant faith, so pressure was put on the recipients of food aid and work to convert. This earned Nangle the derogatory labels of ‘souper’ and ‘Black Protestant’, but the truth was more complex. As the situation grew more desperate, and the island became totally reliant on the colony for relief, Nangle abandoned the principle of food for conversion, and distributed aid freely. However, he stipulated that the able-bodied must work for relief, and that only one member of each family could work at the colony."

    The bearded man looks like Edward Nangle, but he left Achill in 1852 - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Nangle (warning - not a happy story)
  • Niall McAuley said:
    The church is called St. Thomas's, the dia puts it at 1852, nearly 20 years later than the 'colony' nearby.
  • beachcomber australia said:
    Niall McAuley Yes. Wiki has 1855 for the church opening ...
    St. Thomas Church
    In 1848, a site was obtained for a new church in Dugort. The church was eventually erected with the aid of funds from a widow in Cheltenham, England who had donated a sum of £2,400. On 18 March 1855, St. Thomas Church was opened for divine service by Bishop Plunkett.[9] The service was attended by 500 people including one convert of 107 years of age who walked five miles to attend.
