Westropp (1904-5, 441) gives the following details on Carrigparson Church; ‘Carrigparson, or Willestown (14). - A parish. It is a reputed Dominican or Franciscan House; "William's Chapel," with Karkynglisse, in Wethney, 1302; Willestowne, in Emly, 1591 (Valor); Carrigparson, or Willestown, Dec. de Carkinlis, 1615. Its grants are almost inseparable from Ballynambraher, q. v. (infra, 329). Towrani, or Tooreen, in this parish, with a fishery on the Cammoge, belonged to the Franciscans of Ballynabrahur, 1586 (Peyton, p. 255).
Fabric - Only 6 feet [1.8m] of the north wall stood in 1840; the foundations were 35 feet [10.6m] by 21 feet [6.4m]. In 1655 it had a detached tower and spire'.
