• WM033-008 Church
  Description

  The church of Kilbride also known as Kilbride-Veston is depicted on the 1656 Down Survey parish map of Kilbride (NLI p.7384) where it is shown standing on the lands of Richard Tyrell of Kilbride Castle (WM033-010----). The terrier of the Down Survey parish map states that in this townland stands 'a Castle (WM033-010----) and a Church' (NLI p7384). This church is located in the parish of Kilbride-Veston or Kilbride-Vasty and today stands on the demesne lands of Dunboden Park. The church was described in 1837 as on the 'principal seats are Dunboden, the residence of R. W. Cooper, Esq., in whose fine demesne are the remains of the ancient parish church; the seat of A. Grose, Esq.; and Kilbride Castle (WM033-010----), of A. J. Wilkington, Esq., where are the remains of a strong hold of the Tyrrells. The living is a vicarage, in the diocese of Meath, and in the patronage of the Gifford family, in whom the rectory is impropriate: the tithes amount to £78. 9. 11 ½., of which £52. 6. 8. is payable to the impropriators, and the remainder to the vicar' (Lewis 1837, vol. 2, 56). This monument was inspected in 1980 and described as the ruins of a church standing in the centre of a subrectangular-shaped graveyard (WM033-008001-). The present ruins consist of a simple rectangular church (Dims. 13.5m E-W; 8.4m E-W), the walls of which are covered in ivy making detailed examination impossible. The N wall, S wall and the W gable survive upstanding. The remains of a narrow slit window can be seen in the W gable. No other architectural features are visible (SMR file). Kilbride Castle (WM033-010----) is located 315m to the S. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 02 July 2013

• WM033-008002 Cross-slab
  Description

  This slab was recorded in 1980 as located inside the graveyard (WM033-008001-) to the S of a church (WM033-008----) (SMR File). This stone has been moved to the side of the road to the SSW of the graveyard (WM033-008001-) where it has been mounted on a stone base and is signposted as the 'De Profundis Stone'. According to the local history on the information panel beside the stone, this slab was used as a resting stone for the coffin before entering the graveyard. the slab consists of a thick tapering or partially broken limestone flag (H 0.94m; top Wth. 0.44m; T 0.14m) with a crudely incised cross with T shaped terminals can be seen. The cross has been incised into the surface of the slab and is located towards the top of the slab. The top of the slab is wider than the base. The dating of this slab is uncertain, however it appears to be pre-1700 in date (SMR File). Compiled by : Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 04 July 2013
