Fennor  County Meath

 

In 1837, Samuel Lewis's Topographical Dictionary of Ireland described Fennor like this:

FENNOR, a parish, in the barony of LOWER DULEEK, county of MEATH, and province of LEINSTER, ½ a mile (S.) from Slane, on the river Boyne, and on the mail road from Dublin to Londonderry; containing 225 inhabitants, and comprising 954 statute acres, as applotted under the tithe act. ...


The Boyne, which bounds the parish on the north, is here crossed by a good stone bridge. It is a rectory, in the diocese of Meath, entirely impropriate in Blaney T. Balfour, Esq., to whom the tithes, amounting to £104, are payable. In the R. C. divisions it forms part of the union or district of Slane. There are some remains of the old church, near which are those of an ancient mansion.
