MONKSTOWN.
This ancient parish seems never to have had any Incumbent
from the dissolution of the abbey to which it belonged until
1835. There is little notice of it in the diocesan records,
except what here follows
" Oct. 1700. I saw Monkstown Church ; the walls, built with
lime and sand, are standing ; the timber of the roof is up, and
some slates on it; the timber is beginning to decay. There is
no sign of the bounds of the church-yard. There are two tombs
on the south side of the church belonging to the family of
Archdeacons, who were the antient proprietors of Monkstown.
There are three plowlands in this parish, the lands of which
belong to the Lord Primate Boyle. Mr. Callaghan, Protestant,
lives at Monkstown , in a good square castle, with f ankers. This
church was repaired when Mr. Hodder lived at Monkstown,
