  2. An Old Church

    Share Share Post
    There stands the ruins of an old Church on the roadside (right side) of the road leading from Ballinlough to Athboy. It was the principal Chapel in olden days. It stands in the corner of Mr. Garry's Field. Further up in the fields there are the ruins of an old Castle. It is known as Devorstown Castle. No one has lived in it for years. Both are visible from the road.
    (Mrs Leavy, Kilrush)
    This was Ballinlough Chapel. About 200 years ago there was no R.C. Church in Clonmellon and the nearest Church was Ballinlough. (Mrs Bennett, Kilrush). The chalice which was used in this Chapel is kept by Lord Trimbleston. There is a cross on the wall near the road. The Trimblestons lived near Trim and at one time his sister, Lady Kathleen, owned the chalice. Her family owned the Chapel.
