KILLINANE
From A Topographical Dictionary of Ireland, 1837
KILLINANE, a parish, partly in the
barony of IDRONE EAST, but chiefly in that of IDRONE WEST, county of
CARLOW, and province of LEINSTER, l ½ mile (S. W.) from Bagnalstown, on
the road from Gowran to Carlow: containing 899 inhabitants. Killinane
House is the residence of — Groome, Esq., and Malcolmville, of Captain
Mulhallen; the latter is situated on rising ground above the Barrow, and
commands extensive views. The living is a rectory, in the diocese of
Leighlin, forming the corps of the chancellorship, and in the gift of
the Bishop: the tithes amount to £270. This parish is annexed, under the
provisions of the act of the 4th of George IV., c. 86, to the parish of
Wells, and the inhabitants enjoy all the rights of its church, as if
they were parishioners. In the R. C. divisions it forms part of the
union or district of Old Leighlin. The old church is in ruins.
