Grange Church

On a slightly raised promontory on the flood plain of the River Nore which flows c. 80m to the W. The church is located in the SW portion of the sub-rectangular graveyard (KK009-028002-). The OS Letters (1839) record that, 'The western gable only remains of the Church of Grange Mochu; the foundation may be traced to forty feet [c. 12m] in length and eighteen feet [c. 5.5m] in breadth. The wall is three feet six inches thick [1.06m] (O'Flanagan ed. 1930, vol. 1, 40 (14)). According to Carrigan (1905, vol. 2, 321-2) the church stood in ruins, 'till about 1847, when most of it was removed to make way for a new vault for the Stannard-Lanigan family. All that now remains of it is the west gable'. Only the heavily ivy-covered W gable survives upstanding.
