broke the lock. The south gallery in the present church is still called the Tullaghmelan gallery and the north gallery is called the Derrygrath gallery.
The parish is still divided into two electoral divisions Derrygrath and Tullaghmelan.
There is a Protestant church in each of the old parishes. Tullaghmelan church is still in use. The Protestant church near Derrygrath was in use until recently.
Although called Grange there is no townland of that name in the parish. There is a townland of Old Grange and there is a townland of Monksgrange on the boundary in the parish of St Mary's, Clonmel.

Parish of Grange
Part of the united parishes of Ardfinnan, Grange and Ballybacon, situated west of St Mary's Parish, Clonmel
In olden times the present parish of Grange was made up of two parishes Tullaghmelan and Derrygrath. The ruin of an old church with graveyard in which burials are still made in each of these places. The two old churches were about 3 Irish miles apart. The townlands in which the ruins of the old churches are situated are still called the old parish names, Derrygrath and Tullaghmelan.
The original thatched chapel in Grange was built about half-way between the old churches. The present church was built i 1829 and local tradition has it that the old chapel was left standing inside the present church until the roof was on it.
There was a strong tradition of the two old parishes in Grange until recent times. There were two gates going into he chapel yard, one on the North and the other on the South side. About 50 years ago the parish priest ordered the south gate to be locked on Sundays to facilitate the penny collection and some of the parishioners

Dearg-Ráth: Pronounced "Dearg Rath" by the uneducated people. Old parish church in ruins and graveyard.
Two Raths. Lughaidh Mac Con was murdered in Dearg Rath (See Foras Feasa Vol II, page 286). The pillar stone against which he stood when struck by the spear was still in position in 1847 according to O'Donovan. It has since disappeared. I got no account of it from any one in the neighourhood. There is no tradition about it. Keating says the field where Lughaidh Mac Con was killed was called Gort an Óir. That name is no longer used or remembered, but a man named Con Commins who lived near and who died about 20 years ago, aged 90, said he remembered the name being called on the "Raw" field long ago.
