Place & story
Changes to the clergy’s residence
Kilcommock’s former rectory stands south of Keenagh. The architectural inventory dates its origins approximately to 1790, with alteration or rebuilding around 1827. That later work cost £784, comprising a £692 loan and a £92 gift from the Board of First Fruits. Its projecting porch has doors on opposite sides, each reached by stone steps. The inventory regards the porch as a possible later addition, keeping its uncertain date separate from the documented expenditure on the house. [2]
