Kilfinane Church | Church Ruins |

The present primary school in Kilfinane is on the site of the previous church in the parish. That church was built in Kilfinane in 1835 by Fr Sheehy, at a cost of £1,000 according to Patrick J. Connor's "Exploring Limerick's Past". There is a large church ruin in the graveyard across from the present
day church. This church was rebuilt in 1760. The ruin itself is covered
in bushes. This church once served as a Church of Ireland church. According to Westropp's "Survey of the Ancient Churches in the County
of Limerick" the ruins of a church in Laurencetown appeared on maps
of 1840. |
