The principal seats are Mullinabro', Greenville and Bishop's Hall. The living is a vicarage, in the diocese of Ossory, united by act of council, at a period unknown, to the vicarages of Kilcollum and Gaulskill, and in the patronage of the Crown; the rectory is impropriate in the family of Boyd. The glebe-house was built in 1817, and the glebe comprises 23 3/4 acres. The church of the union is at Gaulskill. In the R.
