What is recorded here
Situated on a sight NW-SE ridge in a fairly level landscape. The parish church of Follistown (ME025-037----) is within a neglected D-shaped graveyard (dims c. 50m E-W; c. 30m N-S) defined by masonry walls, but the church was not enclosed in 1682-5, according to Dopping’s Visitation (1682-5)(Ellison 1972, 7-8). The undecorated font was moved to Johnstown Roman Catholic church (ME025-041001-), c. 3km to the W, in 1852 (Cogan 1862-70, 2, 238) where it is set up outside the door.
