Place & story
A church loan and a residence
Samuel Lewis’s 1837 account dates Knockmark’s church to 1811 and records a £900 Board of First Fruits loan towards it. He separately dates the glebe house to 1814, supported by a £100 gift and a £675 loan from the same board. These were distinct grants and debts for different buildings. The account also lists twenty-one acres of glebe in Knockmark and a further five acres in Colmolyn, whose vicarage had been united with Knockmark in 1811. [2]
