Place & story
Four townlands and an annual stipend
In 1831 four townlands were separated from Kildrumferton, also called Crosserlough, to help form the perpetual curacy of Ballyjamesduff. Samuel Lewis recorded that Kildrumferton’s vicar paid its incumbent £20 annually. His 1837 entry also describes the parish church’s rebuilding in 1812 with a £550 Board of First Fruits loan, followed by repairs assisted by a £114 grant. The account links a change in pastoral provision with distinct sources of building finance. [2]
