DRIMOLEAGUE - Lewis’ Topographical Dictionary 1837 - DROMDALEAGUE OR DRIMOLEAGUE, a parish, in the East Division of WEST CARBERY, county of CORK, and province of MUNSTER, 7 miles (SW by S) from Dunmanway, on the river Ilen, and the road from Cork to Bantry; containing 4,870 inhabitants. It comprises 17,565 statute acres, as applotted under the tithe act, and valued at £5,150 per annum; of these 124 are woodland, 8,152 arable, 2,689 pasture, 4,756 barren, and 1,844 mountain, waste and bog. The surface is very uneven, rising into hills of considerable elevation, particularly in the northern part of the parish, which is mostly rocky and bare, though in some places affording herbage for numerous herd of young cattle. Agriculture is in a very backward state. There is an excellent slate quarry though but little used. Dromdaleague House is the residence of the rector, the Rev. T. Tuckey. Fairs are held on May 20th, September 25th, and October 27th, principally for cattle, sheep and pigs; and there is a constabulary police station. The living is a rectory, in the diocese of Cork, united to part of the rectory of Fanlobbus, and constituting the corps of the prebend of Dromdaleague, in the cathedral of St. Finbarr, Cork, and in the patronage of the bishop. The tithes amount to £450. The church is a small edifice built in 1790. In the RC divisions this parish is the head of a union or district comprising also the parish of Drinagh, in each of which is a chapel; that of Dromdaleague, a large cruciform edifice, is well built and roofed with slate. About 150 children are educated in the parochial and another school, the former aided by donations from Lord Carbery and the incumbent; and about 130 children are taught in three private schools: there is also a Sunday School. Near Dromdaleague House is a chalybeate spring, similar to that of Dunmanway. Two miles north from the church is Castle Donovan, erected by the head of the sept of that name in the reign of Henry IV; a lofty square tower, with some other detached portions of the castle, rise in majestic grandeur in a pass between two lofty mountains.
DRINAGH - Lewis’ Topographical Dictionary 1837 - DRINAGH OR DREENY, a parish, partly in the Western Division of the barony of EAST CARBERY, but chiefly in the East Division of WEST CARBERY, county of CORK, and province of MUNSTER, 3 miles (S) from Dunmanway, on the road from that place to Clonakilty; containing 4,231 inhabitants. This parish comprises 12,449 ½ statute acres, of which 5,696 are applotted under the tithe act, and are valued at £4,926 per ann.: there is about an equal portion of arable and pasture land, 4,000 acres are reclaimable bog. Great improvements have been recently made in agriculture by the opening of new lines of road. There are two lakes, the larger of which forms a boundary between the two baronies. The living is a vicarage, in the diocese of Cork, and in the patronage of the bishop; the rectory is appropriate to the vicars choral of the cathedral of St. Finbarr, Cork. The tithes amount to £483, half of which is payable to the appropriators and half to the vicar. There is a glebe of 7 acres. The church is a small neat edifice, in the early English style, erected in 1818, by aid of a gift of £900 from the late Board of First Fruits. In the RC divisions the parish forms part of the union or district of Dromdaleague, and contains a chapel. In the parochial school, principally supported by the vicar, and in another school, which has a grant of £26 per annum, about 80 children are educated, and in five private schools about 300. At Kilronan are some valuable lands granted by Chas. II to the see of Dublin. Here are the ruins of an old church, erected by the Knights Templar.
