Place & story
A shared church and a funded house
Trevet and Kilbrew had been joined as a Church of Ireland benefice in 1678, according to Samuel Lewis’s 1837 account. The union’s church and glebe lay in Kilbrew. Its glebe-house, about a mile from the church, was built in 1815 at a stated cost of £794 British. The Board of First Fruits contributed a £461 loan and a £277 gift, with the incumbent paying the remainder. Lewis separately placed Catholic Trevet within the Skreen district. [2]
