CLOYNE

This article appears in Volume V06, Page 564 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CLI-COM
CLOYNE , a small market town of Co.
Cork
 , Ireland, in the
east
  parliamentary division, 15 M. E. S. E. of the city of
Cork
 . Pop. (1901) 827. It gives its name to a Roman Catholic diocese, the
cathedral
  of which is at
Queenstown
 . Cloyne was the seat of a
Protestant
  diocese until 1835, when it was united to that of Cork. It was originally a foundation of the 6th century. The
cathedral
  church, dedicated to its founder St Colman, a disciple of St Finbar of Cork, is a plain cruciform building mainly of the 14th century, with an earlier oratory in the churchyard. It contains a few handsome monuments to its former bishops, but until 189o, when a
monument
  was erected, had nothing to preserve the memory of the illustrious Dr George Berkeley, who held the see from 1734 to 1753. Opposite the cathedral is a very fine round tower zoo ft. in height, though the conical roof has long been destroyed. The Roman Catholic church is a spacious building of the early r9th century. The town was several times plundered by the Danes in the 9th century; it was laid waste by Dermot O'Brien in 1071, and was burned in 1137. In 1430 the bishopric was united to that of Cork; in 1638 it again became independent, and in 166o it was again united to Cork and Ross. In 1678 it was once more declared independent, and so continued till 1835. The name, Cluain-Uamha, signifies " the meadow of the cave," from the curious limestone caves in the vicinity. The Pipe Roll of Cloyne, compiled by
Bishop
 
Swaffham
  in 1364, is a remarkable
record
  embracing a full account of the feudal tenures of the see, the nature of the impositions, and the duties the
puri
  homines Sancti Colman were bound to perform at a very early period. The roll is preserved in the
record
  office, Dublin. It was edited by Richard Caulfield in 1859.
