Place & story
Village services in 1837
Samuel Lewis credited the late Mr. Brabazon of Rath House with partly rebuilding and improving Termonfeckin village before his 1837 account. He counted eighty-nine houses there and recorded a penny post to Drogheda, a constabulary station and petty sessions every Thursday. The surrounding parish also had quarries supplying stone for buildings and road repairs. These details give a dated picture of village services and construction alongside the parish’s coastal farming landscape. [2]
