Place & story
New arrangements before 1837
The perpetual curacy of Glencar, also called Glenlough, was formed in 1810 by separating 28 townlands from Killasnet, according to Samuel Lewis. The vicar appointed its curate and paid his stipend. Lewis also recorded a Catholic chapel at Mullys, built in 1834 for £250, and another at Glencar. These details show distinct arrangements for serving the parish’s scattered communities before 1837.
