Evan's Tower
In the grounds of St Ita's Hospital, stands a one hundred foot round tower. It was built by Sophie Evans in memory of her husband, George Evans M.P. who died in 1844. The door to to the Tower stands 15 feet from the ground (See Photo by Fr Aquinas T. Duffy). Originally there was also a marble bust of George Evans inside the Tower with the inscription "To the memory of George Evans M.P., an honest man, firm friend and true patriot. This monument a rivival of the ancient architecture of his country, is respectfully, affectionately and mournfully dedicated". This bust was later taken by Professor Pritchard Evans of Oxford University.
Sophie Evans (nee Parnell) was the grand auunt of Charles Stewart Parnell M.P. She also contributed to the building of the two catholic schools in the parish. To this day, each year a small amount of money (£20) is given towards the cleaning of the schools from the Sophie Evans Trust fund. She died in Paris but her remains were brought back to Portrane and she is buried alongside her husband at St Catherine's Cemetery Portrane.
