History and Antiquities

Inagh

The original church of Eidnach was said to have been built by Mac Creiche in his old age, around 580.Шаблон:Sfn The chapel at Inagh, called in Irish Teampul-duv-na-h’Eidhnighe, does not seem to have had a patron saint.Шаблон:Sfn Fragments of the “Teampul na glas aighne” remained in 1839, but were later demolished.Шаблон:Sfn

Before the present church of Inagh was built there was a long, low "mass house" in the townland of Knockahaurin. The floor was used for threshing during the harvest. The present church was built in 1858.Шаблон:Sfn Stones from the old mass house and slates from the Killaloe quarries were used for the walls, and the roof was thatched. The church was dedicated in 1869 by Bishop Power. The high altar was installed in 1895 and the Stations of the Cross in 1905.

Kilnamona

The name "Kilnamona" means Church of the Bog.Шаблон:Sfn In the early Christian era, around 600 AD, the parish tribe was known as Cineal Baoith. Their patron saint was Saint Lachtain. He was from the Cork/Limerick area and it is assumed the tribe migrated from there.Шаблон:Sfn In 1603 the bronze arm of Saint Lachtain had to be removed to Kerry by a Franciscan for safe keeping. It is now preserved in the Royal Irish Academy.Шаблон:Sfn

The old church of Kilnamona is now ruined, although as of 1839 its walls were well preserved. The church is Шаблон:Convert. In the south wall, Шаблон:Convert from the west gable, half of a pointed doorway remained. It was Шаблон:Convert high and Шаблон:Convert wide.
