<p>John Bellew was the quintessential old Englishmen of stock settled in Ireland since the late twelfth century. Staunchly Roman Catholic, he was educated to the law at Gray's Inn in London and on his return to Ireland in 1630 entered on his enheritance of 700 acres at Lisrenny near Ardee. By 1641 he had a prosperous law practice and an estate of 1,460 acres. He was Justice of the Peace, Sheriff of the County and, elected to Parliament in 1641, he played a part in Stafford's impeachment. The insurrection of 1641brought his advancement to an end. Suspected of collaboration with the insurrectionists, he was expelled from Parliamen and outlawed.</p>

<p>This third combined and bound volume in the 'Irish Historic Towns Atlas' series follows volumes I (1995) and II (2005). A 300-page special publication, it brings together five towns and cities previously published as individual projects: Derry-Londonderry, Dundalk, Armagh, Tuam and Limerick. Maps are presented in large format and include facsimiles of old plans, historical reconstructions and thematic maps. Topographical views, illustrations, and photographs provide additional artistic perspectives. Each town/city in Volume III includes a text section with an explanatory essay and a detailed gazetteer that gives dates, references, and other data on the streets, buildings, and sites of the urban center. The book offers the opportunity to compare details of these Irish towns and cities: Limerick had its origins as a Viking trading place on a river crossing before its complex evolution as a medieval royal center, and it eventually became one of Ireland's major industrial and maritime cities. Dundalk is an example of Anglo-Norman colonial initiative that found itself on the edge of the Pale (Dublin) by the end of the Middle Ages before coming under the influence of improving landlords in the 18th century. Armagh, Derry-Londonderry, and Tuam all have origins as early Christian monastic sites. Tuam evolved into a small town under Gaelic patronage in the late 12th century, while Derry-Londonderry became a plantation town in the early 17th century, and Armagh experienced significant growth in the 18th century thanks to its enterprising archbishops.Authors:No. 15 Derry~Londonderry (2005) Avril ThomasNo. 16 Dundalk (2006) Harold O'SullivanNo. 18 Armagh (2007) Catherine McCulloughNo. 20 Tuam (2009) J.A.
