CIVIL PARISHES
Ballintemple
description from Lewis's Topographical Dictionary of Ireland, 1837
Note: Roman Catholic parish records for those parishes that belong to the Diocese of Cashel and Emly are not available to the public
It
comprises about 3600 statute acres, principally under an improved system of
tillage.
Dundrum, the handsome seat of Viscount Hawarden, who is proprietor in fee of the barony, is beautifully situated in a fine demesne, comprising more than 2400 statute acres, of which nearly 800 are well planted; the grounds are tastefully laid out, and there is a profusion of fine old timber on the estate.
A
new line of road from Dundrum to Cappaghmore is in progress,
which will there unite with a road to Limerick, and thus open a more
direct line of communication with that city, by which a saving of about 5
miles will be effected in the distance. At the junction of this road with
that from Thurles to Tipperary, and at the base of the Kilnemanagh
hills, is situated the modern village of Dundrum or Newtown-Dundrum.
Fairs are held here at Whitsuntide, and on the second Tuesday in October;
and it is a station of the constabulary police.
The
living is a rectory and vicarage, in the diocese
of Cashel, to which the rectories and vicarages of Rathlynan, Oughterleague,
and Kilpatrick were united by act of council
in 1795, forming the union of Ballintemple, in the patronage of the
Bishop. The tithes of the parish amount to £240, and of the benefice
to £726 9s. 2 ¾d. The church is a plain modern edifice, situated
nearly in the centre of the union. There is a glebe-house, with a glebe of
20 acres.
Here
is a Roman Catholic chapel.
Near Dundrum is a school for both sexes, supported by Viscount Hawarden, with a house and garden; and there is another school aided by private subscriptions, together affording instruction to about 220 children; also a dispensary.
