It is an impropriate cure, in the diocese of Ferns, held with that of Clongeen, and in the patronage of F. Leigh, Esq., in whom the rectory is impropriate, and both parishes are annexed to the union of Tintern for the performance of clerical duties : the tithes, amounting to £70, are entirely payable to Mr. Leigh, who allows a stipend to the Curate of Tintern for discharging the duties of the two parishes between which several others intervene.
