What is recorded here

At the entrance to the 19th-century Gothic Revival Roman Catholic Church at Rathfarnham (NIAH Reg. no. 11216008) are the remains of a bullaun stone reused as a font/stoup that was removed from Rathfarnham Mass House (DU022-116----) to its present location and has been placed on top of a pedestal which has a plaque above it that reads; 'Font used in Mass House of Penal Times in Parish of Rathfarnham from A.D. 1732'.  Rathfarnham Mass House was located 190m to the SW of Rathfarnham R. C. Church.     Compiled by Caimin O'Brien
