- I live not far from (the) an old Protestant Church which is in the townland of Gortavillin. It was built in the year 1749, the parson who used to come to preach to them was Parson Day, he used come from Beaufort in a cover-car, he was also a Landlord.
A family of the Murphy's, and a family of the Glosters used attend there every Sunday, it was amalgamated with Milltown and Kiltallagh. Those families were also baptised there. The Church body sold it to a man of the Murphy's who went to America some years ago. Murphy sold it back again to a man named Broderick, Murphy left the font to his sister Elizabeth. I saw it and took full particulars of it. She sold it about a year ago to a lady from Leeds, who heard she had it, and she came all the ways to buy it from her, for a small Protestant Church in England.
It is but an old ruin now.
