What is recorded here

The Church of St. John the Baptist (1734) on the grounds of All Hallows College was built on the site of a medieval foundation associated with the Priory of All Saints. After the Dissolution of the priory a small church dedicated to St. Margaret was erected (Ball 1920, 6 182-183). This is probably the 'small church' of Clonturk, mentioned in the Civil survey (1654-6) (Simington 1945, 180-1). The present building contains a monument erected in 1740 to the memory of Marmaduke Coghill, the builder of Drumcondra House by Peter Scheemaker (Craig; & Knight of Glin, 1970, 46).
