- Dingle church is described in the
entry of 22 Aug 1788 in
[Rev. Daniel A. Beaufort's Tour of Kerry, 1788]:
"The Church was very large & consisted formerly of two long parallel Aisles.
The East end of the South aisle stands & has a very fine window - the rest is destroyed,
and the East end of the North aisle is also cut off by a wall with a mean window which bounds the present church.
The South side of it has the Arches which communicated between the two aisles barely stopped up.
The Roof is
new but not close at the Bellfry. Inside there are neither Rails nor Desk nor Pulpit nor floor nor ceiling nor plaister on the walls
- but 3 large fine Canopy seats, supported by Corinthian columns - one for Mr Mullins
& two for the Knights family, which are still hung with black
(for Lady Anne continued to live here after his death till some ill treatment drove her away).
The windows are all broke & there is no door to the Church Yard,
but the passage is the filthiest part of the whole town, over shoes every where. In short this is the worst Church I ever saw."
