Parish of Kilternan united with the Parish of Bray. | ||
Union of the Parishes of Kilternan and Kilgobban desired by the Inhabitants, with a new Church. | ||
Parish of Kilternan shall be disunited from Bray, and united with Kilgobban into Once Parish, to be called ‘Kilternan,’ of which the present Incumbent of Kilgobban shall be Vicar, and the Churchwardens of Kilgobban shall be Church-wardens. | ||
WHEREAS the Parish of Kilternan, in the County and Diocese of Dublin, has been episcopally united to and forms a Part of the Parish or Union of Bray in the County of Wicklow, and is situated at a considerable and inconvenient Distance, the nearest Part being Four Miles, and other Parts Six Miles, from the Parish Church of Bray, the only Church of the said Union; and it is therefore expedient that the said Parish should be separated and disunited from the Parish or Vicarage of Bray: And whereas the said Parish of Kilternan adjoins to the Parish of Kilgobban, in the County and Diocese of Dublin, and the Glebe Lands and Glebe House, of the perpetual Curate or Minister of the said Parish of Kilgobban are situated within the Bounds and Limits of the said Parish of Kilternan: And whereas there is not any Church in the said Parish of Kilternan, and the Church of the said Parish of Kilgobban is small and inconvenient, and much out of Repair, and wholly incapable of accommodating the Protestant Inhabitants of the Parish of Kilgobban, and cannot be enlarged or repaired by reason of the Decay of its Walls, and of its local Situation; and the Inhabitants of the said Parish of Kilgobban comprehending a poor and mountainous District are unable to contribute to the rebuilding of the said Church of Kilgobban: And whereas the respective Inhabitants of the said Parishes of Kilternan and Kilgobban, with the Content and Approbation of His Grace the now Lord Archbishop of Dublin and Bishop of Glandelough, the Patron of the said Parish or Vicarage of Kilternan; the Honourable and Reverend Charles Knox, the Incumbent of the said Parish or Union of Bray; the Reverend Henry Kearney, Perpetual Curate of the said Parish or Cure of Kilgobban; and the Venerable John Torrens, the Archdeacon of Dublin, who is entitled in right of his Archdeaconry to nominate the Perpetual Curate of the said Parish of Kilgobban, are desirous that the said Parishes of Kilternan and Kilgobban should be united and made One entire Parish, to be called “The Parish of Kilternan;” and that a new Church shall be forthwith erected and built on the Glebe Lands aforesaid, convenient to and capable of accommodating the Inhabitants of the said Parishes of Kilternan and Kilgobban; the said Henry Kearney, the present Curate of Kilgobban, and the said Archdeacon of Dublin, first conveying a sufficient Quantity of the said Glebe Land for the Scite of a Church and Churchyard to the Churchwardens of the said Parish to be called the Parish of Kilternan, and their Successors, Churchwardens for ever, of the said Parish, for the Use of the said Parish: And whereas the Trustees and Commissioners of the First Fruits of the several Benefices in Ireland have lately granted the Sum of Nine hundred Pounds for building a Church in the said Parish of Kilternan, wherein there has not been any Church for the Performance of Divine Worship for upwards of Twenty Years last past: And whereas Elizabeth Anderson and Susan Anderson, Spinsters, have proposed and agreed to grant and convey to the Vicar or Incumbent of the said Parish, to be called “the Parish of Kilternan,” for ever, for the Use of the said Vicar or Incumbent and his Successors, other Ground equal in Quality and Quantity to that which may be so assigned and allowed for the Scite of the said intended new Church: And whereas by reason that the said Parish or Curacy of Kilgobban is not a presentative Benefice, the perpetual Union of the said last-mentioned Parish or Cure, with the said Vicarage or Parish of Kilternan, cannot be effected without the Aid and Authority of Parliament: For that Purpose be it therefore enacted by the King’s most Excellent Majesty by and with the Advice and Consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the Authority of the same, That from and immediately after the First Day of July next, the said Parish of Kilternan shall be for ever separated and disunited from the said Parish, or Union, or Vicarage of Bray, and that the said Two Parishes of Kilternan and Kilgobban shall be for ever thereafter united and be and become One entire Parish or Vicarage and Presentative Benefice, to be called “The Parish of Kilternan;” and that the Reverend Henry Kearney, the present Curate or Incumbent of the said Parish of Kilgobban, shall be the First and Modern Incumbent or Vicar of the said hereby created Union or Parish of Kilternan, without any Presentation, Admission, Institution, or Induction, or any other Act or Title whatsoever other than this present Act; and that the present Church-wardens of the said Parish of Kilgobban shall be the First Church-wardens of the said hereby created Union or Parish of Kilternan, as fully as if they had been duly elected as such by the Inhabitants of the said United Parishes in Vestry duly assembled. |
