Hi,

I am just looking for a little information if possible.

Myself & my fiance are getting married this October, but we have yet to choose a church.

I stumbled upon St Patricks Church in Powerscourt & it looks fantastic.

I am wondering would you know whom i might contact regarding this matter.

I am living In Arklow, but we are going to have our reception in Bray, so it would be ideal…

Kind Regards,

Niall Stack

Hi Peggy,
Frankly, I’m not an expert on the old churches in the area, so don’t quote me on this.
.
As far as I can ascertain, there are two Kilcroney Curches – the ‘new’ one to the east of the main N11 [Dublin/Rosslare road] and the old ruins in the grounds of Kilcroney House to the west of the road.
.
Kilcroney House was, until recently in the ownership of the Catholic John of God’s Brothers, but has since been sold. I am not au fait with the current owners.
.
I would hazard a guess that the church you seek is the one in the grounds of Kilcroney House.
.
If there are any experts in this area, I would be delighted to hear more…!
.

Hi,I am trying ti track down the old Kilcroney Church of Ireland Church,where my ancestor,Eliza Hepenstal. was buried in 1835.I have a feeling it was disbanded soon after that and the parish split.I though it may be in the grounds of the College(Kilcroney House) but that was Roman Catholic.Have you any idea where it could be?Hoping that you can help,Peggy
