Place & story
Two building projects
Castleconor’s church was built with a £900 gift from the Board of First Fruits in 1818, according to Samuel Lewis. The clergy residence followed in 1820, supported by a £100 gift and a £675 loan from the same board. Lewis’s account places these buildings within a benefice united with Kilglass in 1806. Its fifty-acre glebe belonged to the union, so that figure does not describe a separate fifty-acre holding for each parish. [2]
