    Share Share Post
    The Chapel was built in the year 1843. The stone was got for the chapel in the townland of Sellernane. The chapel was built by a man named Murphy. It is said that when the people were putting up the cross it fell on Murphy and killed him. There was a lot of men building the chapel, and it was only last year that one of the men who built it died his name was James Brady from Sellernane. The foundation stone was laid by Philip Read ninety five years ago. There is no rent or rates to be paid out of the chapel.
