Place & story
A church above the river
Samuel Lewis described Edermine’s church as a building with a square, pinnacled tower, on rising ground near the Slaney. It was built in 1811 with a two-hundred-pound gift and a six-hundred-pound loan from the Board of First Fruits. His 1837 account also recorded a later grant of 134 pounds for its repair. [2]
A well associated with infants
Lewis recorded a holy well dedicated to Saint Coorawn in the parish. People visited it seeking cures for illnesses of infants. The passage documents a nineteenth-century devotional belief; it supplies no individual cure story or description of a visiting ritual. [2]
