    “The present R.C. church in Castlejordan was formerly a school house.”

    Share Share Post
    The present R.C. Church in Castlejordan was formerly a school house. The site of it was given by one of the Gifford Landlords who lived in the Castle of Castlejordan at the time. Holy Mass was celebrated in it on Sunday and it was used as a school on week days. Duke Gifford would not allow this and had the building closed.
    Mass was offered then for some time in a neighbouring barn owned by people named "Noone". The trace of two chimneys may still be found one on each end of the present church.
    From Miss Wyer, Clonmore, Edenderry.
