Punchbowl Meelick church

Post by matthewmacnamara » Thu Jul 26, 2018 6:37 pm

Would any person know anything about the building of
the Church of Ireland church at Punchbowl Meelick?
I understand that it was built by the Conyngham estate.
It was the parish church for Killeely parish that stretched into Limerick city.
I am particularly interested in knowing until when
it remained in use.
The glebe house was near Limerick city.

In relation to services at Punchbowl church I have just found this:

At Meelick, in the county of Clare, only a short distance from this city, there is a Protestant parish church,

the congregation consists of one policeman, from an adjacent station, and the clerk! [Limerick and Clare Examiner, May 27, 1855]
