Place & story
Sunday worship
In his Clerical and Parochial Records, W. Maziere Brady recorded a licensed place of worship at Glenlough in 1860. Alongside another at Roosha, it supplemented services in the parish church of Durrus and Kilcrohane. The entry describes Sunday services at the outlying places, providing a contemporary record of organised worship beyond the parish church. [2]
Parish clergy
Brady names James Freke as incumbent and John Harding Cole as curate in 1860. Freke had been appointed to Durrus and Kilcrohane on 18 August 1852. These were appointments serving the wider parish; the account does not identify a separate resident minister at Glanlough. [2]
