Product Description
Kilkeedy Graveyard near Clarina in county Limerick is home to two churches, one a medieval structure of which some features remain, and the second being a Church of Ireland church built in the 19th century using much of the underlying imprint of the earlier church. The antiquarian T. J. Westropp described how some of the earlier structure dates to the 12th century and a church is mentioned at this site in other historical documents such as visitations or taxes since 1201. The earlier structure appears to have been remodelled in the 15th century and is mentioned as having a thatch roof in 1615. Westropp also mentions the small building the north of the church as being a ‘priests dwelling’. The founder is most likely named Caeide/Caeide as this is mentioned in many documents including the Annals of the Four Masters in 1599. Some sources state the feast date of Caeide was the third of March while other sources state the church was in honour of St Simon and St Jude, feast day 28th of October.
