Place & story
A gift, a loan and a repair grant
Feighcullen’s church was erected in 1829 with help from an £830 gift and a £277 loan from the Board of First Fruits, according to Samuel Lewis. By the time of his 1837 account, the Ecclesiastical Commissioners had also made a £248 grant for repairs. The two forms of assistance concerned different stages of the building’s history. Lewis separately described a glebe house with ten acres, without giving its construction date or assigning these church payments to it. [2]
