Though currently occupying a postion roughly in the centre of Tipperary town, immediately N of John Street, it was possibly originally located within the NW angle of the town, the town defences (TS067-004009-) may have formed the N and W boundary of the graveyard (Thomas 1992, vol. 2, 195). In 1215 the advowson (the patronage including the tithes) of the church of the vill of Tibrari (town of Tipperary) was granted to Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin (Bradley 1985, 56). A royal visitation of 1607 found the parish church in repair, suggesting that it continued in use after the Reformation for Protestant worship and in 1730 the medieval church was hugely remodelled (Butler 2006, 53-5, 189). The present C of I church at this location dates to 1832. Nothing survives at ground level of the medieval church, which is indicated as being immediately S of the C of I church on the 1st (1840) ed. OS 6-inch map. There are no apparent medieval architectural fragments or pre-1700 graveslabs in the graveyard (TS067-004008-).
