The church of Skreen was founded in the 7th century by St Adamnan (d. 704) and got its name from the Latin word Scrinium, a shrine because in it was deposited his shrine (O'Rorke 1890. 400-1). The church was built on a site previously granted to Saint Columba (ibid). The Visitation Book of 1615 mentions that' the church and chancel were thatched' (ibid).
