Place & story
A gift matched by a loan
The Board of First Fruits contributed £369 as a gift and another £369 as a loan towards Kilmanaheen’s glebe-house in 1828, according to Samuel Lewis. His account identifies its resident as Archdeacon Whitty and records a glebe of forty-three acres carrying an annual charge. The church at Ennistymon was a separate building project: Lewis dates it to 1831 and records a £1,000 loan from the same board. These figures distinguish support for the residence from funding for the place of worship. [2]
