Place & story
Saint Patrick’s Church
Saint Patrick’s Church at Tierworker stands in Teevurcher townland. Its commemorative inscription records construction in 1832 and rededication in 2010. A community survey in 2017 documented twenty-three memorials at the church. Together, the dated inscription and surveyed memorials preserve a record of the building’s long service and the later work undertaken to renew it. [2] [3]
Wind energy and engineering
Teevurcher’s wind farm was constructed in 2018, according to the engineer responsible for subsequent drainage work. Langan Consulting Engineers records a 2020 commission from owner NTR to investigate operational drainage problems. The work included studying the catchment, modelling drainage and examining existing channels and downstream culverts before designing remedial measures. Its account documents the practical engineering behind this newer use of the landscape. [4]
A community benefit fund
In September 2026 Meath Public Participation Network announced that Teevurcher was included in NTR’s wind and solar farm community-benefit programme. Local groups could propose projects close to the development, including larger infrastructure schemes seeking support over several years. The announcement records a community-funding mechanism associated with the wind farm, alongside its role in electricity generation. [5]
