(CC 4/6/1825) - CURRIGLASS, BARONY OF KINNATALLOON - OUTRAGES AND REWARD - WHEREAS, the stables of the Police Establishment near the village of CURRIGLASS, in the Barony of Kinnatalloon and County of Cork, were set on fire about the hour of Ten o clock, on the night of Thursday the 12th inst., by some incendiaries as yet unknown, without effecting any material injury. - AND WHEREAS said stables were again set on fire, about the hour of Twelve o clock, on the night of Wednesday the 18th inst., in three places at the same time, and totally consumed; but the Horses attached to that establishment, were rescued from destruction by MR. KITTSON Chief Constable, at the imminent risque of his own life. - NOW, we the undersigned, holding in abhorrence such atrocities, and in order to bring the perpetrators of the same, do hereby offer the several sums annexed to our names respectfully, or such part thereof as H. GUMBLETON, Esq., the REV. J. W. EDGAR, and Wm. KIRBY, Esq., Magistrates of this County, shall think fit, to any person or persons, who will within Six Calendar Months, from the date, prosecute to conviction, or give such information as may lead to the conviction of the person or persons concerned in these flagitious outrages, which, we are satisfied, (by the strict investigation made by the Magistrates,) result from private malice of a few individuals in that Village, or in its immediate neighbourhood, and not from any general disposition to disturbances in the Barony, hitherto so tranquil. Dated this 28th day of May, 1825.

AGHERN – Lewis’ Topographical Dictionary 1837 – AGHERN, or AHERN, a parish, in the barony of KINNATALOON, county of CORK, and province of MUNSTER, 5 miles (E.) from Rathcormac; containing 1367 inhabitants. This parish is situated on the river Bride over which is a bridge of three arches of stone, and on the mail car road from Rathcormac to Castle Martyr, and the direct road from Cork to Tallow. A castle was erected here, in 1389, by one of the Fitzgeralds, to command the pass of the river, on which was an ancient ford at that time of great importance: it was of great strength, and was powerfully garrisoned by the Earl of Desmond against the forces of Elizabeth. At no great distance were the castles of Duneen and Conna, both founded by the Fitzgeralds for the defence of other passes for the Bride, of which there are some picturesque remains. The parish comprises 3480 statute acres, as applotted under the tithe act, and valued at £2296 per ann.: 2855 acres are arable and pasture land; 425 are coarse and bog, but capable of being improved: and 200 consist of waste and mountain. The soil is in general fertile, particularly in the Vale of the Bride, where the substratum is limestone; the land is principally under tillage, and the system of agriculture is rapidly improving under the exertions of Spotswood Bowles, Esq., and the Hon. and Rev. L. Tonson. Ahern house, the residence of Mr. Bowles Esq., is pleasantly situated near the picturesque ruins of the ancient castle, and the grounds comprise some interesting and beautiful scenery. There is a constabulary police station; and petty sessions are held on the first Thursday in each month. The living is a rectory and vicarage, in the diocese of Cloyne; the rectory united from time immemorial to that of Ballynoe, and in the patronage of the Crown; and the vicarage episcopally united for many years to the entire rectory of Britway, and in the patronage of the Bishop. The tithes amount to £370. 18. 5Y which is equally divided between the rector and the vicar; and the gross tithes of the union, payable to the incumbent, amount to £456. 17. 4. The church, situated near the bridge, at the extremity of the parish, is a neat edifice, built in 1817, for which the late Board of First Fruits granted a loan of £500. The Board also granted a gift and loan, each of £300, for the erection of the glebe house, in 1822; the glebe comprises seven acres of profitable land. In the R. C. divisions the parish forms part of the union, or district of Knockmourne, also called Ballynoe. The parochial school, in which are about 20 boys and 20 girls, is endowed with an acre of land by the Duke of Devonshire; there are also a Sunday school and two hedge schools, in which latter are about 80 boys and 40 girls.
BALLYNOE – Lewis’ Topographical Dictionary 1837 – BALLYNOE, a parish, in the barony of KINNATALOON, county of CORK, and province of MUNSTER, 6 miles (W. by S.) from Tallow; containing 2692 inhabitants. This parish is situated on the old road from Castlemartyr to Fermoy, and comprises 10,271 statute acres, of which 50 are woodland, 1500 bog, and 8721 arable and pasture land; 7514 acres are applotted under the tithe act, of which the gross rental is estimated at 4222 per annum. The land consists of a light soil resting on clay-slate, but is in general tolerably fertile; the principal manure is lime brought from the vale of the Bride. Not far from the village is Ballynoe House, the residence of A. Hargrave, Esq.; and there are several commodious houses occupied by respectable farmers. It is a rectory and vicarage, in the diocese of Cloyne, the former united from time immemorial to the rectory of Ahern, and the latter united to the vicarage of Knockmourne: the tithes amount to £915. 3., of which two-thirds are payable to the rector and one-third to the vicar. There is a glebe of 2 acres, but no glebe-house. In the R. C. divisions it forms part of the union or district of Knockmourne, also called Ballynoe: the chapel, situated in the village, is a large plain building, erected in 1835, and is also appropriated to a national school. A little to the south-east of the village are the ruins of the parish church; and near them are other extensive ruins, supposed to be the remains of an establishment founded by the Knights Hospitallers, to whom the rectory anciently belonged.
CONNA – Lewis’ Topographical Dictionary 1837 – CONNA, or CONNOUGH, a village, in the parish of KNOCKMOURNE, barony of KINNATALOON, county of CORK, and province of MUNSTER, 4 ½ miles (N.W) from Tallow: the population is returned with the parish. This place, which is situated on the river Bride, is a constabulary police station, and has fairs on May 12th, June 20th, October 3rd, and Nov. 2 1st. The R. C. chapel is situated here. Conna castle is said to have been built by one of the Earls of Desmond, and was taken by storm, in 1645, by the Earl of Castlehaven. In 1653 it was burnt, and Avis, Joanna, and Jane German, daughters of Edward German, perished in the flames, as appears by a monument with an inscription recording this calamity in Knockmourne church. The castle, of which only a high square tower remains, stood on an isolated limestone rock on the south side of the river Bride. Excellent salmon and trout are caught in this river.
CURRAGLASS – Lewis’ Topographical Dictionary 1837 – CURRIGLASS, a village, in the parish of MOGEALY, barony of KINNATALOON, county of CORK, and province of MUNSTER, 1½ miles (W) from Tallow, on the road to Fermoy; containing 514 inhabitants. This village is situated in the fertile vale of the Bride, and near the confines of the counties of Cork and Waterford: it consists of a short street extending nearly east and west, with another branching from it towards the south. The parochial church, a small but neat structure with a square tower, is near the east end of the village. Here is a station of the constabulary police; also a male and female school in connection with the National Board. In the vicinity are numerous gentlemen’s seats, embosomed in finely wooded demesnes. Adjoining the village are three trees, an oak, a cedar, and a holly, remarkable for their size and vigour; and some of the pleasure grounds contain a variety of valuable exotics of great size and beauty, particularly the Verbena, which flourishes here in the open air. —See MOGEALY.
KNOCKMOURNE – Lewis’ Topographical Dictionary 1837 – KNOCKMOURNE, or KNOCKMORE, a parish, partly in the barony of BARRYMORE, partly in that of CONDONS and CLONGIBBONS, but chiefly in that of KINNATALOON, county of CORK, and province of MUNSTER, 6 miles (N.W) from Tallow, on the road to Rathcormac; containing 3144 inhabitants. It com prises 7514 statute acres, of which 75 are woodland, 250 bog, and the remainder arable land: the soil is good, and there is much limestone and some brown stone. It is a vicarage, in the diocese of dyne, united at an unknown period, by act of council, to the vicarage of Ballynoe, and in the patronage of the Bishop; the rectory is impropriate in the corporation of Waterford. The tithes amount to £1070. 12. 9., which is equally divided between the impropriators and the vicar, and the tithes of the benefice to £840. 7. 4. The glebe comprises three acres. The church was rebuilt by a loan of £300 from the late Board of First Fruits, in 1813. In the R. C. divisions it is the head of a union or district, which includes the parishes of Knockmourne, Ballynoe, and Mogealy; and has chapels at Conna, Ballynoe, and Lisnabrin. Here is a private school, in which about 70 children are educated.
MOGEELY – Lewis’ Topographical Dictionary 1837 – MOGEALY, MOGEELA, or MOYGEELAGH, a parish, in the barony of KINNATALOON, county of CORK, and province of MUNSTER, 23 miles (W) from Tallow, on the road to Fermoy; containing 3095 inhabitants. It is situated on the south side of the river Bride, and on the confines of the county of Waterford, and, including Templebelagh, comprises 9369 ¼ statute acres, as applotted under the tithe act. The land is in general good, particularly in the vale of the Bride, where it rests on a substratum of limestone; but the higher grounds towards the south and east are entirely composed of clay-slate. In many places the soil is light, well cultivated, and productive, and some of the land towards the east is occupied as nurseries for raising fruit and forest trees. The surface is very uneven, in some places mountainous; about 2000 acres consist of rough stony land chiefly in pasture and mostly reclaimable. Near Curriglass is found a white tenacious clay, which, when mixed with water, resembles lime in colour, and is in consequence occasionally used for whitening walls. The scenery in the vale of the Bride is interesting; and within the limits of the parish are several handsome seats, the principal of which are Lisnabrin House, the residence of Capt. Croker; Mount Prospect, of Mrs. Bowles; Curriglass House, of W. Gumbleton, Esq.; Lisnabrin Lodge, of Thos. Carew, Esq.; Frankfort, of F. Woodley, Esq.; Rockfield, of Chas. Welsh, Esq.; Woodview, of the Rev. G. Nason; and Curriglass Cottage, of the Rev. G. J. Gwynne: there are also several good houses occupied by wealthy farmers. The living is a rectory and vicarage, in the diocese of Cloyne, united to the particle of Templebelagh, and in the patronage of the Bishop: the tithes amount to £725. The glebes comprise 5 acres, of which 3a. 1r. 36p. are at Templevally, and the remainder near the old church. The present church, in the village of Curriglass, is a small but neat edifice, in the early English style, erected in 1776, and for its repair the Ecclesiastical Commissioners have lately granted £121. In the R. C. divisions the parish forms part of the union or district of Knockmourne: a large chapel has been lately built at Glengowra, and the old chapel, at Lisnabrin, is shut up. The parochial school at Templevalley is chiefly supported by the rector, who has allotted 3 acres of the glebe for that purpose; a school at Lisnabrin is supported by a grant from the Ecclesiastical Commissioners and subscriptions for the Cloyne Scriptural School Association and individuals: there are also a Sunday school and a National school. On the south bank of the river Bride, at the old village of Moygeelah, and commanding the pass of the valley and river, are the extensive and picturesque ruins of a castle, once the splendid residence of Thomas, Earl of Desmond: it was reduced by Queen Elizabeth’s forces during the rebellion in the latter part of her reign. Near it are the ruins of the old church of Moidgheallidh, or “Church of the vow;” and at Templevalley are those of a church erected by the Knights Templars, in 1302.

(CE 22/2/1847) AT A GENERAL MEETING OF THE KINNATTALLOON POOR RELIEF COMMITTEE – HELD at CONNA, on THURSDAY, the 18th of FEBRUARY, 1847, - JOHN NASON, Esq., JP, in the Chair. Proposed by CHAS. H.WALSH, Esq., JP, and seconded by the Rev. MICHAEL O HEA, RCC:- That the Committee view with regret and disappointment the conduct of certain landed Proprietors, and other, in this Poor Relief District, who, while they have neither by their purses nor their presence contributed during the present awful season of destitution, towards the relief of the distress of the community, have nevertheless thrown the entire burden of providing food and employment for the poor of the district on the shoulders of a few of the generous and considerate Landlords and practical Working Men, thus heartlessly neglecting the duties devolving on them at this critical season and evading a portion of Taxation and liability to which they ought justly and voluntarily be subjected. - Proposed also – That the above resolution be inserted in the Cork papers, together with a list of the Contributors to the Poor Relief Fund of the district, as also of those who have not come forward with their subscription.
