• WI025-012003 Church
  Description

  Romanesque doorway (WI025-012005-) of uncertain provenance now and placed in the Protestant parish church in Wicklow town. The Urban Survey recorded a tradition that the doorway, 'is said to have been brought from Old Kilcullen' while the Wicklow Inventory (830) records that the the doorway comes from Glebe townland about a mile to the NW (WI025-011003-) and was removed from the church site here (WI025-011001-) and placed in the Protestant parish church in Wicklow town. It is more likely that this doorway comes from a Romanesque church that may be located underneath the footprint of present C of I church in Wicklow town (pers. comm. Chris Corlett). Date of upload: 22 October 2012.

• WI025-012004 Graveyard
  Description

  Recorded by the Urban Survey (Bradley and King 1989, 70) as ‘the church is said to be of seventeenth century in date but it is covered in pebbledash and the interior is plastered. It is a single aisled building with a west tower. The interior is lit by three round headed windows with chamfered granite jambs in each wall. It has a stone flagged floor in which there are some early eighteenth century memorials. Remains of a fifteenth century church (WI025-012003-) have been seen in the north side of the graveyard when graves are being dug (JRSAI cii (1972), 100). The dedication has been a matter of dispute between SS Mantan, Thomas and Patrick. In 1468 it is referred to as St Patrick’s church Wykenglo (MacNeill 1950, 244). Date of upload: 22 October 2012

• WI025-012005 Architectural feature

Recorded by the Urban Survey(Bradley and King 1989, 72) as an ‘early Norman/Romanesque font (dims: H. 0.42m; Wth.0.56m; D. 0.24m) of slaty limestone is placed at the east end of the church. It is tub shaped with two cushion capitals on the upper edge of the front face and one to either side giving the top of the font a square appearance. The front of the font is further decorated by triangular panels in alternating low and high relief outlined by raised mouldings.

The rim and left front of the bowl are damaged’. Date of upload: 22 October 2012.
