What is recorded here
Clonaslee Heritage Centre has a plaque calling its location a new “Scite”, beneath the grand names of a bishop and a lieutenant general. Two powerful men, one spelling mistake, and a mason backing quietly towards the gate.
Detached Georgian Gothic-style Church of Ireland church, dated 1814. Renovated, 1998, with interior remodelled to accommodate use as heritage centre. Plaque inscribed: "This Church was Erected with the Consent of Dr. Charles Lindsey Lord Bishop of Kildare on a new Scite [sic] Granted By Lieut. General Edward Dunne of Brittas Consecrated October 9th 1814"
