The Church was rebuilt c, 1852-65 by the Ecclesiastical Commissioners at a cost of 2,699 (Rep. of 1865). A Tablet in Lisnaskea Church states that Rev. John Flanagan procured its rebuilding. A New Parochial Hall was built in 1912 at a total cost of 1,100 of which Miss Selina Stewart contributed 750 and her sister, Emily, 100. The Parish Registers from 1804 are in Parochial Custody. Vestry Books date from 1870.

   Of the Communion Plate the Chalice bears the inscription " Hunc Calicem in Usum Ecclesiae de Ahalurcher descit Adam's-Mxon, A.D. 1690.

And a Paten " The gift of Mrs. Ogle to the Church of Lisnaskea, 1692." (from which it appears there was an older Church than that of 1814), and a Credence Paten " Lisnaskea Church 1905," and a Flagon " Lisnaskea Church, 1837."

Joyce adds " Some of our Ecclesiastical writers derive the name from a legend, but the natural explanation seems to be that wild pigs were formerly in the habit of crossing the lake at this narrow part." The name appeal* in the Papal Taxation as " Mutynam " and the parish is valued at 2 marks. St. Maeldoid, the Patron Saint, is commemorated on 13th May. The O'Hanrattys were of the same stock as the Saint.

But this does not agree with the account given in the B. V. 1622, which was contemporary and must be preferred. The Eccl. Com. Report 1867, says the Ecol.

47. Ancient parish church ruins on Galloon island townland

    Galloon · townland · Fermanagh · 1773

    The ruins of the ancient Parish Church of Galloon stood on the island townland of Galloon. This townland was among thirty tates ceded from Currin to form the new parish of Drumkrin in 1773, though maps showed some ambiguity about which parish it belonged to.

    A Terrier of the Parish of Galloon, dated 1775, mentions the fact of these thirty tates haying been taken from the Currin portion of the parish and given to Drumkrin. I believe the tates thus ceded included the island townland of Galloon, on which stood the ruins of the ancient Parish Church. But my notes on this Terrier mention a map annexed to it in which Galloon island townland and adjacent lands are marked as if they still were in the Parish of Galloon. Probably this map had been drawn prior to the severance of the thirty tates, as I have notes of another map, formerly in the P.R.O., TOueh marks Galloon island as in Drumkrin.

    As to Drummully Parish, the ruins of its ancient Parish Church stood on the tatea or townlands of Drummully, which were among the lands eventually coded by that parish to form Drumkrin, as the ruins are shown as in Drumkrin in the last-mentioned map.

It was fortunate that I adopted his suggestion at the time, as the Diocesan Records up to 1870, which were the main foundation of the work, have since been totally destroyed with the Public Record Office.

    The Visitation Books from 1661, which had been used by Bishop Reeves who had made up a Succession List, now in T.C.D.

In 1922 Archdeacon and Mrs. Hobson drew my attention to a pile of mouldy papers in the old Muniment Room of Armagh Registry, now connected with the Armagh Library. On examining them the Clogher Visitation Books were found intact, as well as many other important documents.
