- My name is Josie Tevlin. I live in the townland of Kilmainham. My Parish is Kells but I live about 1 1/2 or 2 miles from my Parish Church.More than one hundred years ago Kilmainham was called Kells and that is why some of the land there is called Old-town.Every land in Kilmainham has a name and some of the houses in Kilmainham make a village and the old people say that Kilmainham was the centre of the city of Kells hundreds of years ago.
