Place & story
An eighteenth-century glebe-house
The glebe-house serving the Church of Ireland union of Ardee stood in Kildemock parish, according to Samuel Lewis’s 1837 account. He dated its construction to 1781 and recorded a cost of £1,010 1s 6d. The associated glebe comprised forty acres, valued at £120 a year. That yearly land valuation was separate from the house’s building cost. Lewis also recorded two public schools teaching about 360 children between them, one supported by the rector, and described the old church as ruined. [2]
