____________________________________________________________________
CHURCHTOWN - Lewis' Topographical Dictionary 1837 - CHURCHTOWN, or BRUHENNY, a parish, in the barony of ORRERY, county of CORK, and province of MUNSTER, 3 ½ miles N by W from Buttevant; containing 2795 inhabitants. This parish is situated on the road from Buttevant to Liscarrol, and contains 7029 ½ statue acres rated to the county cess, and valued at £6334.16.11 per annum. The land is generally good, and mostly in pasture; and agriculture is improving. Some bog, limestone, and a reddish-coloured marble are found here. The principal seats are Burton House, originally built by Sir Philip Perceval, destroyed in the war of 1641, rebuilt by the late Earl of Egmont, and now the residence of the Rev. Matthew Purcell; and Churchtown House, the residence of the Rev. F. W. Crofts. The village contains several neat slated houses, a good inn, and a constabulary police station. A court for the manor of Burton, which includes several parishes, is held once in three weeks, in which debts not exceeding 40s late currency are recoverable. The greater part of the parish is the property of the Earl of Egmont, who takes his title from the townland of Egmont, within its limits. The living is a rectory, in the diocese of Cloyne, and in the patronage of the Bishop; the tithes amount to £550. The church is a plain building with a square tower; and the spire, which was thrown down about three years since, has been rebuilt by a grant of £258 from the Ecclesiastical Commissioners. There is no glebe-house, but a glebe of 12 acres. In the RC divisions this parish forms part of the union or district of Liscarrol: the chapel is a neat cruciform building, and is about to be improved. There are two private schools, in which are about 80 boys and 30 girls; and the Earl of Egmont intends to build one at Churchtown, capable of accommodating 700 children, which will be placed under the National Board.
LISCARROL - Lewis' Topographical Dictionary 1837 - LISCARROL, a parish, in the barony of ORRERY and KILMORE, county of CORK, and province of MUNSTER, 4 ½ miles WNW from Buttevant, on the road to Newcastle; containing 2046 inhabitants, of which number, 666 are in the village. This place is distinguished for the remains of its ancient castle, of which the foundation is by some attributed to the followers of Strongbow, and by others to John, Earl of Morton, afterwards King of England. In 1641, the castle was garrisoned by Sir Philip Perceval, and so strongly fortified that it maintained a resolute defence for thirteen days against Gen. Barry, by whom it was besieged with an army of 7000 foot and 500 horse, with a train of artillery, and to whom it surrendered on honourable terms. The delay occasioned by the siege allowed Lord Inchiquin to assemble a force of 2000 foot and 400 horse, with which he attacked and defeated the Irish in the neighbourhood of the castle, which was retaken and restored to Sir Philip. In 1644, the Irish having made prisoners several of the garrison who were without the walls, threatened to put them to death unless the fortress surrendered, on which Raymond, the constable, sallied out with a party of his men, put the Irish to flight, and recovered the prisoners; but the castle, though well prepared for defence, surrendered in the year following to Lord Castlehaven without opposing any resistance. The village is pleasantly situated in a valley, and contains 120 houses, which are mostly thatched. A barrack for two officers and 64 non-commissioned officers and privates was built in the vicinity, in 1821; the establishment was kept up for about four years but the buildings are now occupied by labourers. Fairs are held on the 25th of March, 1st and 31st of May, Aug. 31st, Oct. 21st, and Nov. 29th, chiefly for cattle and pigs; a constabulary police force is stationed here; manorial courts are held occasionally, with jurisdiction extending to 40s, and petty sessions on alternate Thursdays.
The parish comprises 3855 statute acres, as applotted under the tithe act; the land in general is good and chiefly in pasture. Limestone is quarried both for agricultural purposes and for building. The principal seats are Altamira, the residence of W. Purcell, Esq., a handsome mansion in an extensive and richly planted demesne; and High Fort, of R. Purcell, Esq., MD, distinguished for the gallant defence made by its then proprietor, the late Sir John Purcell, against a midnight attack by nearly 20 robbers, whom, though armed only with a case knife, he entirely repulsed; in consideration of which intrepid conduct he obtained the honour of knighthood. Sally Park, the property of Geo. Bond Lowe, Esq., is now in ruins. The living is a vicarage, in the diocese of Cloyne, united to that of Kilbrin, together forming the union of Liscarrol, in the patronage of the Bishop; the rectory is impropriate in C. D. O. Jephson, Esq., The tithes amount to £254, which is equally divided between the impropriator and the vicar; the vicarial tithes of the benefice amount to £547. The church is at Ballygraddy, on the border of the parish of Kilbrin. In the RC divisions the parish is the head of a union, comprising also the parish of Churchtown or Bruhenny; the chapel, an old building, is about to be repaired and enlarged; there is also a chapel at Churchtown. About 80 children are taught in a national school; and there are two private schools, in which are about 200 children. There are very considerable remains of the ancient castle, which was a quadrangular building, 240 feet long and 120 feet wide, enclosed with walls 30 feet high and defended with two square and four round towers of great strength, parts of which are still remaining. Near the barracks are some remarkable fissures in the limestone rock; about a mile from the town is a fissure of great depth, called Kate's Hole, which is now closed up; and at Coolbane, to the west of it, is a large rath, now neatly planted, where it is said 17 of the relatives of Garret Fitzgerald, of the house of Desmond, killed in the siege of the castle, were interred.
LACKEEN - Lewis' Topographical Dictionary 1837 - LACKEEN, a parish, in the barony of ORRERY and KILMORE, county of CORK, and province of MUNSTER, 1 ¼ mile W from Churchtown, on the road to Liscarrol; containing 89 inhabitants. It comprises only the townlands of Lackeen and Granard, containing 277 statute acres, as apploted under the tithe act, and valued at £246.9.2, as rated for the county cess. The land is of excellent quality and chiefly in tillage; limestone is quarried for burning, lime being generally used for manure, and the state of agriculture has been much improved. It is a rectory, in the diocese of Cloyne, forming the corps of the prebend of Lackeen in the cathedral of Cloyne, and in the patronage of the Bishop; the tithes amount to £31. The occasional duties are discharged by the curate of Churchtown. In the RC division it is part of the union of Liscarrol. The ruins of the old church still remain in the burial-ground.

TIERNEY ESTATE, CHURCHTOWN
Evictions & Gratitude during the Famine
(CE 20/5/1846) - SUNDAY NIGHT….From Buttevant I proceeded to Churchtown, which with adjoining lands were granted in the reign of Charles the 1st to Sir Philip Percival, who had, according to Smith ' a vast estate in England and Ireland; in which last kingdom, he had seventy-eight Knight's fees, containing 99,000 acres of land. He was a Privy Councillor to King Charles 1, register of the Court of Wards, and held several other employments in this kingdom at the same time.'
It is of part of this property that my duty, as an impartial chronicler of facts, compels me now to speak. - When I entered Churchtown, I proceeded to Kerry-lane, where the houses were reported to have been tumbled by the directions of Sir Edward Tierney, Crown Solicitor of the North-West Circuit. The appearance of the place brought to my memory the fate of Troy.
Kerry-lane could heretofore have counted about 42 houses. It appears by the statements of the inhabitants of Kerry-lane, that on the death of the Rev. Matt Purcell, Rector of Churchtown, their interest in their houses ended. Sir E. Tierney sent his man of business, Mr. Simcox, to offer each head of family £2, provided he tumbled his own cabin. The following is a list of the parties who complied with the above terms, together with the number in family.
Arranged Alphabetically
Ansty, Mary, & 2 children
Brislane, Ned, wife & 4 children
Callaghan, Denis, wife & 5 children
Callaghan, Patt, wife & 4 children
Callaghan, Widow, & 1 child
Crean, Ned & 2 children. (Got a house afterwards)
Guinee, Widow & 2 children
Leahy, Tom, wife & 6 children
Lillis, Nicholas, wife & 3 children
Lillis, Widow, & 1 child
Meehan, Widow & 4 children. This woman stated to me that Mr. Simcox offered her £2 to tumble her house; but that when it was tumbled, he only gave her £1 10s. She also stated that she and her children were lying by the road side on last Saturday night until John Quinn, another of the creatures whose house is to be tumbled, took them in. It was at Quinn's house that I took down the statement in presence of a friend who accompanied me.
Nealor, Peter, wife & about 10 others, children & relatives.
Quinn, John, see Meehan
Reidy, Connor, wife & 4 children
Scannell, Patrick, wife & 2 childrenThere are over 20 houses still in statu quo in Kerry-lane, but they are all to be tumbled; and it is computed that nearly FOUR HUNDRED HUMAN BEINGS will be thrown on the world when the improvement of building a market-wall shall have been completed.
As my business is to deal with facts only, it is not for me to say whether the commencement of a year of famine be the proper time to commence these improvements; but I must, in a spirit of fair play, state that Churchtown now, and the Churchtown of former years are quite different. Sir E. Tierney has certainly effected a vast change for the better in the appearance of Churchtown; he has built a great number of excellent two-storey houses, well slated, with good out-offices, &c.
I also learned that it was announced by the priest at mass this day, that he gave £50, and his son £50 more, towards the Churchtown relief fund. Having now discharged by duty, I hope fairly and honestly, giving to Caesar his due, and omitting nothing on either side, I leave the public to pronounce their own opinions.

Part of a report to the 'Cork Examiner' concerning a visit to Buttevant and Churchtown in May 1846 and signed by 'BETA.' See under Buttevant for the rest of the report.
(CE 26/11/1849) - TO THE EDITOR OF THE CORK EXAMINER - SIR, At a Meeting of the Tenantry of Sir Edward Tierney's Churchtown Estate, recently convened at Churchtown, County Cork, to record their gratitude for his kind and considerate conduct in making them an abatement of 25 per Cent in their rents of this year, it was unanimously resolved that the following address, expressive of their feelings, should be forwarded to Sir Edward Tierney, Bart., and that the same, together with his reply thereto, should be published in the Cork Papers; you will, therefore, do me the favour of affording them a place in the columns of the Cork Examiner, - I remain, Sir, your obedient Servant, J. MACDONOGH, Churchtown, Buttevant, Nov. 22, 1849
TO SIR EDWARD TIERNEY, BART. - SIR - Impressed with a deep sense of gratitude for your great kindness in making, unsolicited by us, an abatement of 25 per Cent in our rents, We, the undersigned Tenants on your Churchtown Estate, seize on this, the earliest opportunity, of returning you our most sincere thanks for so generous and so noble an act. - Though suffering, in common with our fellow-country-men, from the failure of our Crops and the depression of the Markets, we raised no clamour, we sought no abatement, we left ourselves unreservedly in your hands, and we are now pound to say we have not been disappointed in our expectations of your generous nature. - Nor is it for this act alone, highly as we value it, that we have to express our grateful acknowledgments. You have built us comfortable homestead, erected magnificent school-rooms for the education of our children, made us liberal allowances for draining, fencing, and every other improvement, and, by affording constant employment to hundreds of the working population, you have, to a great degree, relieved us from the pressure of poor-rate. - Accept, then, honoured Sir, we beg you, this sincere but feeble expression of our gratitude, and believe us to be, with hearty good wishes for your long life, health, and happiness, your faithful and devoted tenantry.

SIMCOX, NATHANIELDublin, November 2d., 1849 - TO THE CHURCHTOWN TENANTRY - DEAR FRIENDS - I have received from you an Address, expressing your 'grateful acknowledgments' on my having intimated to you my intention of making an abatement of 25 per Cent in your Rents of this year, in consequence of the present low price of agricultural produce. You also convey a wish, in the letter, transmitting the Address, that I should permit you to publish it. - I can, of course, have no objection to your doing so; but at the same time beg to assure you that I do not seek the publication of any act that may be considered one of kindness on my part towards my Tenantry. I wish to act justly and fairly and claim no credit for so doing. - It is, however, very gratifying to me that my Tenantry are satisfied with my conduct, and I trust that the relation between us, of Landlord and Tenant, will be always satisfactory to both parties. - offering you my best thanks for your good wishes, I remain, yours faithfully, EDWARD TIERNEY
