Teeming etc.[edit]

"In consequence of this prohibition, the humble place of worship, used by the Catholics, stood upon a sand-bank, beside a tributary of the River Nore, at a place called "The Brook," just outside the town. Some of the old inhabitants remember to see men occupied in teeming water out of the chapel on Saturday evenings, in order that the people might be enabled to assemble there for Mass next day. About the year 1794, Dr. Delany, Bishop of the Diocese, who held Mountrath as a mensal parish, determined, if possible, to build a church for the parishioners."

So the chapel was wet, and a new church was built after 1794. How old were the "old inhabitants"? 150 or something?! This sounds like a bit of Irish embroidery.86.46.205.33 (talk) 12:45, 10 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
