Place & story
Church and glebe-house
Samuel Lewis’s 1837 Drumlane account records a £675 Board of First Fruits loan for a glebe-house built in 1819. A separate £1,500 loan supported the parish church, also erected that year and described as having a square tower. These figures concern the Church of Ireland parish buildings. They should be kept separate from the medieval Drumlane ruins and from the later Catholic building campaign at Staghall. [2]
