description
from Lewis's Topographical Dictionary of Ireland, 1837
BALLYGUNNER,
a parish in the barony of GAULTIER, county of WATERFORD,
and province of MUNSTER, 3 miles (E.S.E.)from Waterford; containing
709 inhabitants.
This parish is situated in the road from Waterford, which here divides
into two branches leading respectively to Passage and Tramore
; it comprises 1369 statute acres, as applotted under the tithe act. Near
the point where the road divides is a stone which is supposed to have been
part of an ancient cromlech, from which circumstance the adjacent house, belonging
to Mr. Reynett, derived its appellation Mount Druid. A constabulary
police station has been established, and petty sessions for the division are
held every fortnight, at Callaghan, in this parish.
It is a vicarage, in the diocese of Waterford, and is part of the union of Ballynakill; the rectory is appropriate to the Dean and Chapter of the cathedral church of Waterford. The tithes amount to £157.7s.4d., of which £92.19s.8d., is payable to the dean and chapter, and £64.8s. 1d., to the vicar.
In the Roman
Catholic divisions it forms part of the union or district of Trinity
Within and St. John, Waterford, and contains a chapel. A school
is supported by an annual donation of £21 from ???? Fitzgerald, Esq.
