Place & story
A house and repairs
At Taghshinny, a parish extending across Shrule and Rathcline, Samuel Lewis recorded a glebe-house built in 1825 for £923 British. The Board of First Fruits contributed a £230 gift and a £507 loan towards that cost. His 1837 account also noted repairs to the church, supported by £150 from the Dowager Countess of Rosse and £50 each from Mr. Jessop, Mrs. Jessop and the Ecclesiastical Commissioners. [2]
