THE LIBERTY BELL [BY VIVIENNE ROCHE]-161926

            Liberty Bell(1988) 
By Vivienne Roche
Winner of a Dublin Millenium Sculpture Symposium Award 1988 St. Patrick’s Park 

For many years I had believed that the bell in St. Patrick's park was named after the Liberty Bell the iconic symbol of American independence but I was totally wrong. 

It is The Liberty Bell because it is located in an area of Dublin of Dublin known as "The Liberties". The Liberties of Dublin, Ireland were manorial jurisdictions that existed since the arrival of the Anglo-Normans in the 12th century. They were town lands united to the city, but still preserving their own jurisdiction. The most important of these liberties were the Liberty of St. Sepulchre, under the Archbishop of Dublin, and the Liberty of Thomas Court and Donore belonging to the Abbey of St. Thomas (later called the Earl of Meath's Liberty).Today's "Dublin Liberties" generally refer to the inner-city area covered by these two liberties.
