'Extracts from a manuscript "Barony Book of Shelmalier," 
under the Parish of Ardcandrisk, by the late H.F. HORE, of 
Pole Hore:-
'The little chancel of Ardcandrisk ruins was the burial 
place of the HORE family from very early times; the last of 
them interred here was CHRISTOPHER HORE, implicated in the 
Rebellion of 1641. The blessed well by the roadside, close 
to the churchyard, is dedicated to St. Eusebius.

'ALEXANDER BANYON, by Will (at Enniscorthy) dated 1617 
describes himself of "Archandras," and desires to be buried 
within this church, to which he leaves 5s. to the poor box. 
This shows that devine service was then performed in it. 
'NICHOLAS HORE of the Pole, Gent., by his Will of 1628 
desires to be buried in the church of "Arcanrish."
