Kilkenny Black Abbey 

Dominican Friars founded 1225 by William Marshal the younger, Earl of Pembroke (purportedly buried here, but actually at Temple Church, London); dissolved 1540; granted to the Sovereign and commonality of Kilkenny 1543; friars apparently remained in the vicinity reoccupied during the right of Queen Mary; used as a courthouse; church restored 1970s; now in parochial use
