Reference to a thatched chapel built in 1686 by a member of the Hartpole family (O'Hanlon and O'Leary 1907, vol. 2, 579). Situated atop high ground with excellent views of surrounding countryside. It was subsequently replaced by the modern church. No early grave-markers visible. Described in the History of the Queen's County as 'The earliest place of worship in this parish of which any record remains was the thatched chapel built in 1686, of which Grose gives an illustration and description. It was erected he says by a lady of the family of Hartpole. In one of the transepts there was 'a small chapel which was the place of interment of the Grace family'. According to the published memoirs of this family this ancient thatched chapel was replaced in 1795 by a structure of better class. This in its turn, yielded place to the present beautiful edifice, to the erection of which the munificence of Mrs. Grace, of Gracefield, largely contributed' (O'Hanlon and O'Leary 1907, vol. 2, 579). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Laois' (Dublin Stationery Office, 1995) compiled by P. David Sweetman, Olive Alcock and Bernie Moran.

A townland is the smallest land division of Ireland, and the unit of a rural address; old registers such as the 1901 and 1911 censuses file it under its civil parish and barony.

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
