History: Kinsale Town Wall
In the year 1381, King Richard II of England declared that the town of Kinsale being situated on the sea shore and of late having recieved [sic] insult and attack from Spanish and Irish enemies and English rebels should be surrounded by a stone wall.
When constructed it encompassed all the important buildings and contained four town gates, namely, Cork Gate, Friar's Gate, Blind Gate and World's End Gate. The wall itself survived for several centuries and provided safety for its inhabitants as a safer trading destination.
