Westropp — Ancient Churches in Co, Limerick, 449 



Fabric — The New Church is a late fifteenth- century building. Temple 

 Nua, 561 feet by 21^ feet; walls, 12 feet by 4 feet. The east window 

 has a round-headed splay and double light. In the south is a 

 window with oblong splay and round-headed light. The west end has 

 a window-slit and bell-chamber (O.S.L., 9, p. 230). It is usually 

 stated that it was "founded by Eachel, widow of Hemy, Earl of 

 Eath," 1679 ; but the chapel is shown in the map of 1590 (probably 

 by Jobson ; it is 56 of the Hardiman set, T.C.D.). Lady Bath, how- 

 ever, gave " a vestment, a rich pulpitt- cloth, silver chalice, plate, 

 bible, and service book" to her " chapel in the kingdom of Ireland," 

 1679. Dyneley, in 1680, shows it in his view of Lough Gur. It 

 there has the bell-chamber shown as at present.^ Description —
