(A.F.M .) About the year 1190-1200 Richard Pepard, Baron of Ardee, built a castle here on the Bishop's lands and was cursed by the bishop and is said to have become a leper (Beg. of CJogher B. Mus. Add. Msa. 4789). Roger Pepard in 1207 endowed the Abbey of St. John's, of Ardee, with the Church lands and advowson of Donaghmoine. The R. was granted to Primate Dowdall on Mar. 21, 1653 (Morrin i., 315). In 1622 (R. V. ) it was appropriate to the Abbey of St. John Ardee, and Lord Moore and Ambrose Aphugh levied the Rectorial tithes. The Vicarage was then value for 20, the Church was ruinous, no glebe house nor glebe. Primate Bramhall seems to have purchased part of the Rectorial tithes for the use of the parish (Lambeth Mse.) The Old Ohurch was rebuilt in 1641. Present Church built 1827 (Rep. of 1836) contains a font, and an altar or marble removed from the old Church. There was an old Church in the T.L. of Kilmurry marked in the Survey of 1691 as the " T(empel) of Kilmore." The Communion Plate has the following inscriptions : Silver Flagon " The humble offering of Mrs. Priscilla Armatage for the use of the parish of Donemaine."

Clontibret Church Roof Danger in 1843
Clontibret · townland · Monaghan · 1843
The newly built Clontibret Church was closed in July 1843 because the roof was in a dangerous state. Divine service was temporarily moved to the Glebe, where an office was fitted up for the occasion.

The Church is described by Lewis in 1837 (Top. Diet.) as " a plain old structure with an ancient square tower surmounted by a spire," and was then in a dilapidated condition. The following notes from the Preacher's Books, kindly supplied by Bev. E. G. Ward, M.A.,tell something about it and the new Church " Feb. 6, 1842 The last day of Divine Service in the old Church." " Feb. 13, 1842 The first Sunday in Lent, the new Church was opened, by licence from the Biahop, for public worship. Archdeacon Russell preached, and the Bev. George Lewis, Curate, read Prayers." "May 4, 1842 Consecration of New Church. Archdeacon Russell preached." The new Church referred to was built by the Eccl. Comrs. in 1840, at a cost of 1,136 9s. 7d. Foundation Stone laid 28 April, 1840. It does not seem to have been very well built, for on 16 July, 1843, there is a note "The Church was closed in consequence of the dangerous state of the roof ; and Divine Service conducted at the Glebe in one of the offices, fitted up for the occasion."
" Dec. 24 The Church re-opened with gallery " (evidently added, for at the consecration a Special Collection, apart from the offertory collection, was made for this purpose.) The amount spend on repairs was 346 11s. 5d.
