Multyfarnham

Multyfarnham or Multyfarnam (Irish: Muilte Farannáin, meaning 'Farannán's mills')[2] is a village in County Westmeath, Ireland.

During the wars of the 1640s, it became an organisational centre for the powerful and influential Franciscan order, who met there in their provincial assembly at the outbreak of the 1641 rebellion.

Around the monastery grounds, among the lawns, around the church and the college buildings, there are 14 life-size Stations of the Cross.

[citation needed] Wilson's Hospital School, also near Multyfarnham, was the scene of a battle during the 1798 Rebellion.

[citation needed] In March 1979, the Irish National Cross Country Championships were held in the grounds of the Franciscan Friary farm in Multyfarnham.

Local recreational resources include hill walking, boating, and fishing, with authorised permits.
