Place, Manuscript, Memory
The manuscript and the town that carried its name.
Early days: five images so far, more as we gather them
The manuscript
Liber Cenannensis — the illuminated gospel book the world knows as the Book of Kells.
Round Tower
Notebook study of the tower as it stands — open rim, about 26m, five windows at the top. Cap wanting.
High Cross
The South Cross in the churchyard, with the Round Tower behind — stone witness to the monastic town that kept the manuscript for centuries.
St Colmcille’s House
A National Monument in the town — part of the living monastic landscape visitors can still walk.
Courthouse hub
A civic heart of modern Kells — and part of the conversation about where a returning volume could be shown.
