Place & story
Bartholomew Mahon’s bequest
Alan Moran’s study of the Strokestown vestry book records an £800 charitable trust left by Bartholomew Mahon, who died in 1815. The minister and churchwardens administered it for poor people without a religious distinction. Its scope was the united parishes of Bumlin, Kiltrustan and Lissonuffy, rather than Bumlin alone. The book lists assistance given between 1833 and 1837, including support for widows, orphans and people who were ill or disabled; some received help repeatedly. [2]
