THE PENAL TIMES

A trip through the countryside of Ireland today will yield ruins of monasteries and churches everywhere. After awhile one has to ask, ‘what happened?’ Religious persecution in Ireland began under Henry VIII (1540 until about 1731). The local Parliament adopted acts establishing the king’s ecclesiastical supremacy, abolishing the pope’s jurisdiction, and suppressing religious houses.

ALL OUR MEDALS: All our medals are handcast from antiques and vintage pieces in sterling silver and solid bronze then antiqued to restore original patina.
