Place & story
A fund set aside over several years
Emly’s Church of Ireland cathedral also served as the parish church in Samuel Lewis’s 1837 account. He described a hewn-stone building with a tall spire and put its cost at £2,521 11s 9d. The money came from a surplus in the cathedral’s economy fund, accumulated over several years for that purpose. [2]
