The living is a rectory and vicarage in the diocese of Clogher, and in the patronage of the Bishop : the tithes amount to £120. The church, a plain edifice, was erected by aid of a gift of £200 from the late Board of First Fruits, in 1777, and the Ecclesiastical Commissioners have recently granted £157 10s., for its repair.
