    Previous to the Reformation the church of Whitechurch appears to have been a chapel-of-ease to the parish of Kilkuran (Cill Ciarán). It is mentioned in a list of churches of about the year 1500. The ancient Catholic Church has been destroyed and its site is occupied by a modern Protestant church. None of the tombs in the graveyard are of interest. The holy well is 100 perches to the west, at Cregg Bridge; it was formerly much frequented by pilgrims, its name is Tobar-Mhuire, the Blessed Virgin's well.
