Montpelier Hill, better known as The Hellfire Club to Dubliners, is a lovely place for a walk. A club that was founded in 1735 by Richard Parsons – a man known for dabbling in black magic. Its members met at locations across Dublin and were known for their amoral behaviour and debauchery involving alcohol and sex. The secrecy surrounding the club led to speculation that its members were Satanists and Devil-worshippers. The president was named ‘The King of Hell’ and dressed like Satan, with horns, wings and hooves. The members were also said to set a place at each meeting for the Devil, in the hope that he’d attend.
