Building: CO. LEITRIM, CLOON, CHURCH (CI, OLD)
Date: 1821
Nature: 'The church, a plain edifice in the Early English style, was erected by aid of a loan of £1,500 from the late Board of First Fruits, in 1821; the former church had several portions of the old abbey incorpoated with it, but it has been entirely removed to make rook for the present structure.' (Parish church was replaced by 1871 by chapel of ease built 1852-3 at Farnaght in Lough Rynn demesne, and was subsequently demolished apart from tower.)
