Place & story
A grant after the parish union
Kilmastulla’s rectory and vicarage were united with those of Templeichally by an act of council in 1790, according to Samuel Lewis. The following year the Board of First Fruits gave £500 towards erecting Kilmastulla’s church, which he described in 1837 as a plain building. The payment is recorded as a gift, rather than a loan or the total construction cost. Lewis also distinguished the Catholic chapel at Boher, within the separate ecclesiastical district of Ballina.
