History

A medieval structure dated from as early as 1190 was erected by Owen Gmyneth (Owain Gwynedd), a Welsh prince and Lord Cloghran. The more recent Cloghran Parish Church was built in 1712 on the site of a previous structure. It was described by Lewis (1837) as a very plain and simple edifice capable of seating 100. The Glebe of Portmarnock was built in 1791 on Cloghran church lands, while detached from its main parish area), became a townland of Portmarnock Civil Parish. The Cloghran glebe-house was built in I822, funded by the Board of First Fruits. In the 1830s divine service was celebrated weekly on Sundays and on Christmas Day; the Sacrament was administered six times a year. The parish merged with Santry in 1872 with Rector Dr. Adams becoming Rector of Santry as well. The church ceased to operate as a church at the end of the 19th century, the church still stud up until the Second World War and was controversially demolished in 1944 by the remaining parishioners. The Glebe House became part of Cloghran Stud farm (which was highly successful in racing in the 20th century), and there is a preservation order on the building, in 1992 Aer Rianta, the airport authority bought the stud farm.

There are records of an earlier church Glynshaugh Church (Clonshaugh), on the townland of Middleton, in Barony of Coolock, (off the Stockhole lane), in 1189 Pope Clement III granted it, as part of the Parish of Santry, to St. Mary's Abbey, Dublin. In Rector Adams History of Santry and Cloghran, notes the church and graveyard was completely destroyed by 1820 and the land ploughed up for farming.
