Place & story
Building and maintaining parish premises
Saint Mullin’s parish church was erected in 1811 with an £800 gift from the Board of First Fruits, according to Samuel Lewis. By his 1837 account it had also received a £185 repair grant from the Ecclesiastical Commissioners. The glebe house was supported separately by a £380 gift and a £450 loan from the Board of First Fruits. These entries distinguish funds for the church’s construction and upkeep from assistance towards the clergy’s residence. Lewis also noted Kavanagh family monuments inside the church. [2]
