• DU018-038 Settlement cluster
  Description

  Listed as Settlement in the Dublin RMP of 1998. This disused St. Mary's Church of Ireland church (1817) incorporates a W tower of a medieval church (DU018-038001-) of the royal manor of Crumlin. In the field to the E of the medieval church stood the site of a possible motte castle (DU018-038004-). In 1336, the king granted to John Fitzwilliam Jordan, for his life, the manor of Crumlin, as an ancient royal demesne. In the same year he constituted Thomas Smithe Seneschal of the lordships of Newcastle of Lyons, Crumlin, and Saggard, for five years; and in the following year granted to the natives and tenants of Crumlin and their heirs 122a. of land, with the appurtenances in said manor, at the rent of £6 17s. 3d., provided they and their heirs, within ten years, and at their own expense, caused the town to be enclosed against the attacks of enemies (D'Alton 1838, 696). In 1495 the Court of Crumlin recorded that Richard Walsh of Crumlin yeoman; 'have given, granted and by this present charter confirmed to John Shirofe of Dublin, husbandman, two messuages, fifteen acres and a half of arable land in Crumlin and within the tenure of the same; of which two messuages one lies in length as far as the common street of the town of Crumlin going towards .... on the south, and to the land of John Cruce on the north, and in breadth lies between the land of John Welles on the west and ... on the east, and the other goes in length as far as the street of the said town on the east and as far as the gate there which goes to Drumnagh on the western part, and in breadth lies between the messuage of John Willis on the north and the messuage of Robert Barnewall on the south' (Curtis 1929, 42-3). After the death of John Shirofe; 'the said messuages shall remain to the parish church of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Crumlin in pure and perpetual frankalmoign for making and keeping a wax light before the image of the B.V.M. in piety in the aforesaid church forever' (ibid., 43). In 1594 the Court of Crumlin recorded the following details about the cleaning of a town ditch; 'It is ordered by the consent of the homagers that betwene this and the first of August next comyng every cottier shall fynd one man and. every termor and freeholder twoe for the cleansing of a ditch in the Towne. The constables and John Hales and Richard Bughill are appointed indifferent for setting downe the day forclensing thereof. And anyone doing contrary this order shall forfeit vid sterling to be disposed by the said constables and assistauntes for supplying the wante of the laboure' (Curtis 1929, 141). In 1596 the Court of Crumlin recorded that; 'John Lawles and William Purcell are appointed to supervise a ditch (fossatum) near Chamberlen's gate [in dispute] between Rich. Hoyle and Neil Dowlane, and to report to the next court' (ibid. 144). In the 16th century there was a castle in Crumlin, the precise location of which has not been identified. This manorial settlement appears to have stood beside a medieval routeway as shown on the 17th century Down Survey map of Newcastle and Uppercross barony (Hibernia regnum). The parish of Crumlin stood within the manor of Newcastle Lyons and was a prebend of St Patrick’s Cathedral (Foley 2013, 22). Before the death of the archbishop of Dublin, Laurence O’Toole, in 1180, William Brun was granted lands in Killester in north Co. Dublin. One of the witnesses on a couple of the deeds relating to this transaction was Osbert Trussell (Osbert Russell), whose descendants became prominent tenants on the manor of Crumlin and this family eventually adopted the surname Crumlin (ibid. 60). In 1212 William Crumlin paid £16 in pepper for the lands of Crumlin, possibly because he was several years in arrears by this date (ibid. 68). In 1216, William Fitz John of Harptree, held Crumlin who according to Foley (2013, 35) 'is likely that he or perhaps his father held lands on this manor since the time of the invasion or shortly after and appears to have been a descendant of the owners of Richmont Castle in Harptree Coombe in Somerset, England'. At the time of the conquest of Ireland, William Harptree, son of William and grandson of John granted the church of Crumlin to his clerk Robert (ibid.). In 1528, Gerald Fitzgerald, ninth earl of Kildare, held four messuages and twenty-six acres in Newcastle Lyons; he also held a hundred acres and a castle in Athgoe, a grange on the same manor, and he had another castle in Crumlin, along with one messuage and a hundred acres' (Foley 2013, 185). In 1593, there was land in Crumlin called ‘Earl’s ground’, and this is likely to have been the property previously belonging to Gerald Fitzgerald.” It is possible that this land in Crumlin is the 122 acres that was part of the king’s original royal demesne (ibid., 186). In 1646 Robert Ussher the younger, was granted a license to hold two fairs annually at Crumlin, and a few years later the children of the latter, Arlander and Mary, appear as the occupants of a house in the village (Ball 1906, 140).

• DU018-038001 Church
  Description

  The early 19th century disused St. Mary's Church of Ireland church incorporates the W tower of the medieval nave and chancel parish church of the Blessed Virgin Mary of the royal manor of Crumlin. The church and tower was described by D'Alton as follows; 'In 1818 the commons were enclosed by act of parliament, and in 1819 the church here was rebuilt. It is a neat stone structure, annexed to a more ancient tower in the pointed style' (D'Alton 1838, 699). The parish of Crumlin stood within the manor of Newcastle Lyons and was a prebend of St Patrick’s Cathedral [DU018-020270-] (Foley 2013, 22). Before the death of the archbishop of Dublin, Laurence O’Toole, in 1180, William Brun was granted lands in Killester in north Co. Dublin. One of the witnesses on a couple of the deeds relating to this transaction was Osbert Trussell (Osbert Russell), whose descendants became prominent tenants on the manor of Crumlin and this family eventually adopted the surname Crumlin (ibid. 60). In 1212 William Crumlin paid £16 in pepper for the lands of Crumlin, possibly because he was several years in arrears by this date (ibid. 68). In 1215 the crown recorded a; 'Grant in frankalmoign, for their common use, to the canons of the church of St. Patrick [DU018-020270-], in the suburbs of Dublin, of the church of Crumelin, which the K[ing]. when earl of Morton had given as a prebend to the former church' (Cal. doc. Ire., no. 566, 88). In 1216, William Fitz John of Harptree, held Crumlin who according to Foley (2013, 35) 'is likely that he or perhaps his father held lands on this manor since the time of the invasion or shortly after and appears to have been a descendant of the owners of Richmont Castle in Harptree Coombe in Somerset, England'. At the time of the conquest of Ireland, William Harptree, son of William and grandson of John granted the church of Crumlin to his clerk Robert (ibid.). In 1306 the Ecclesiastical Taxation of the See of Dublin valued the church of 'Cromelyn' at £10 with the tithe valued at 10s. (Cal. doc. Ire., 237). In 1417 'John Giffard, chaplain , had the custody of 30a. arable and four of wood in Crumlin, to hold under the king during pleasure' (D'Alton 1838, 696). In 1495, the court of Crumli recorded that after the death of John Shirofe; 'the said messuages shall remain to the parish church of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Crumlin in pure and perpetual frankalmoign for making and keeping a wax light before the image of the B.V.M. in piety in the aforesaid church forever' (Curtis 1929, 43). In 1592 the Court of Crumlin recorded the following details about Crumlin parish church; 'John Talbot and Hugh Harold, proctors of the parish church of Crumlin, sought a certain rent of 2/6 per annum issuing from divers lands belonging to John Rochford. Inquest is made whether the same rent belongs to the said church and how long it is in arrears. The jurors declare that certain pledges were given from time to time to the proctors of the said church for the said rent by Jenkins Hynde, tenant of said lands, until the said Jenkins was one of the proctors of the said church sixteen years ago. And thenceforward he made default and did not pay the rent as formerly' (ibid., 136-7). In 1593 the Court of Crumlin recorded that; 'On the summons of the proctors of the parish church of this manor, Edmund Basnet on oath declared that he wras for seven years one of the proctors of this church. And, being proctor and notary he had a rent of 2/6 per annum issuing from the lands and tenements of John Rochford by the book of the said church and another ,rental and that it was in arrears. He demanded this arrears from the said John, who replied that it was the debt of his tenant. And when said Edmund, asked Jenkin Heyne, then tenant of the said John for the said lands and tenements, Jenkin replied that it was John Rochford's debt. And further he said that neither himself nor any other proctor during that term when he was proctor received any parcel of the said annual rent' (ibid. 138). The royal visitation of 1615 recorded; 'that the rectory of Crumlin appertained to the minor canons of St. Patrick's, that William Cogan was curate, that the church and chancel, having been covered with lead, were burned in a time of rebellion, and that the parishioners (the whole town having been burned on that occasion) were so poor that they could not yet repair the church' (D'Alton 1838, 698). In 1838 the church was described as follows; 'The church is plain, and without monuments. The Ecclesiastical Commissioners lately granted £79 14s. 11d. for its repairs. In the grave-yard [DU018-038002-] are several ancient tombstones, two to some members of the Deane family of Ravensthorp, in Northamptonshire, and of Pinnock, in Gloucestershire, at the close of the seventeenth century; one to Eliza, daughter of Maurice Cuffe, of the county Clare, who died in 1699; to the Purcells, from 1691' (D'Alton 1838, 693). The present church is entered in the W wall of the W tower through an early 18th-century doorway of Classical style inserted c. 1710. Over the main door of the Church Lies a plaque quoting: "How dreadful is this place, none other is the house of god, and this is the gate of heaven" with a skull and crossbones over the top of it. The bones went missing in the 1990s. It rises three storeys and the exterior is largely plastered (ext. dims. L 5m, Wth 3.6m). At ground floor level an original N doorway has been blocked up externally but survives as an alcove internally with a lintelled head. A spiral stairs in the NW corner survives from first floor level. The first floor is absent. The interior is lit by a narrow double-splayed light in both the N and S walls. A narrow late doorway at this level gives access to the spiral stairs at the W end of the N wall. The irregularity of the walls of the second floor suggest the former existence of vaulting. At second floor level there is a narrow splayed loop in the N and S walls and a rectangular window in the W wall. This has a segmental rear arch and window seats. The roof is vaulted with clear traces of wicker-centering. There are two bell-pull holes in the W part of the vault. The third floor is reached through a doorway off the spiral stairs. There are three large openings with rough flat segmental heads and a smaller lower opening in the E wall at a lower level. The roof is corbelled. Spiral stairs end abruptly at roof level where the parapets are of 19th-century date. A stone wall (1725) encompasses the graveyard which is sub-circular in plan suggesting the existence of a pre-Norman ecclesiastical enclosure. An archaeological assessment in 1998 revealed a ditch outside and concentric to the boundary of the churchyard. No datable finds were recovered from it. Inside the ditch two pits containing burnt material were revealed. They are likely to be of medieval date (Hayden 2000). Further works in 1999 revealed a ditch feature traversing the site from east to west. The ditch possibly represents an outer enclosing element around the medieval churchyard and was purposely infilled in the later medieval period. The present graveyard wall may be indicative of an inner circular enclosure (Murphy 2000, 58). On the angle of the W tower there is a modern carving of a sheela-na-gig which appears to have been inserted into the church tower when the building was being restored.

• DU018-038002 Graveyard
  Description

  A stone wall built in 1725 and repaired c. 1825 encloses the graveyard which is sub-circular in plan (diam. c. 55m) suggesting the existence of a pre-Norman ecclesiastical enclosure with the disused St Mary's C. of I. church (DU018-038001-) in the centre of the graveyard. An inscription on the gate-piers of the graveyard entrance recorded that the church which is dedicated to St. Mary was rebuilt in 1817 and that the walls of the churchyard were rebuilt in 1725, and repaired one hundred years later' (Ball 1899, 94). An archaeological assessment under licence No. 98E0362 in 1998 revealed a ditch outside and concentric to the boundary of the churchyard. No datable finds were recovered from it. Inside the ditch two pits containing burnt material were revealed. They are likely to be of medieval date (Hayden 2000, 43). Further works in 1999 under licence No. 99E0305 revealed a ditch feature traversing the site from east to west. The ditch possibly represents an outer enclosing element around the medieval churchyard and was purposely infilled in the later medieval period.

• DU018-038004 Castle - motte
  Description

  Possible motte castle belonging to the Royal Manor of Crumlin which stood in the field immediately E of the medieval St Mary's Church (DU018-038001-) and graveyard (DU018-038002-). In 1290, when Henry Compton was granted the demesne lands of the royal manor of Crumlin, he met with fierce opposition from the tenants of Crumlin who had previously held the farm of the manor (Foley 2013, 7). In 1331, a close letter reveals Saggart to have been an ‘ancient ferm’ and a decade later Crumlin and Newcastle Lyons were described as being ‘of the king’s ancient demesne’ (ibid. 9). According to Foley (2013, 9) 'The classification of these manors as ancient demesne may indicate that they were part of the demesne lands of the Norse'. This earthwork recorded on the 1st ed. OSi map as a hachured enclosure indicative of a ringfort or barrow, however it is depicted as a hachured mound more on the 25-inch OSi map (surveyed 1908) where it is annotated 'Moat' which may suggest that this was a possible motte castle. St Mary's C. of I. church has been built on the site. There was no visible surface trace when inspected in 1994 (SMR file). Foley, A. 2013 The royal manors of medieval Co.
