So it’s only fitting that as well as great works of literary art, there are places like the Bolton Library in Cashel, County Tipperary, to house them. First established in the 18th century by a Church of Ireland Archbishop, Theophilis Bolton, the grandson of Richard Bolton, the Lord Chancellor of Ireland, the library was built for his convenience just opposite his residence. Following his death, he bequeathed his rare collection of 11,000 literary works to the diocese. This unique collection contains works that cover the whole breadth of human knowledge for the previous 2,500 years, including books by Plato, Dante and Homer, as well as countless histories, essays and pamphlets. The collection is housed in the Chapter House of the Cathedral of St. John, close to the historic Rock of Cashel, and has been taken into state care by the Office of Public Works to preserve for future generations. It’s now managed jointly by the OPW and University of Limerick. The collection in the Bolton Library contains some extremely rare books, and is unusual in its size and scale. For lovers of literature, knowledge and history, the Bolton Library provides a rare opportunity to glimpse some of mankind’s greatest intellectual achievements all in one place. Cashel is situated a short distance away from the city of Limerick, with the Bolton Library and Rock of Cashel together making a fascinating day out. ## Plan a trip to see Bolton Library Price found within the past 48 hours.

(1,001 reviews) Probably our favorite stay in Ireland. Limerick was a delightful city to visit and Limerick Strand Hotel was a huge part of our enjoyable stay. Easy parking underneath the hotel, early check in offered at no additional cost and friendly hotel staff. Narayan was our server both nights we dined at the hotel restaurant and he was amazing! We are still amazed at how he was able to manage the entire floor seeminglt by himself.
