Under Anglo-Norman settlement the lands at Chapelizod appear to have been reserved firstly as Crown property. They are recorded initially as having been leased by King John to Richard de la Felde. Thus settlement at Chapelizod is documented from the early thirteenth century with reference to the church (DU018-027001) and to grants of the manor, lands, mills, fisheries and weirs. The village demonstrates many of the features of Anglo-Norman towns with a central triangular-shaped market square, street configuration, presence of public buildings such as a church, bridges etc. and a reference to it being surrounded by walls ((Ball 1906, 164). However it was considered that the evidence for the borough of Chapelizod was not conclusive so the settlement was not included in the Urban Survey of County Dublin (Bradley 1998, 129). By the 17th century The Civil Survey (1654-6) describes a small village at Chapelizod containing 10 slated houses in addition to a number of thatched houses and a church (Simington 1945, 223). Also within the parish is 'a ffayre Mansion House' (DU018-027001) owned by Sir Henry Power of Valentia is described (ibid.). According to 'Ireland Illustrated' in Treasures from the National Library of Ireland (Kissane 1994) in 1671 a Colonel Laurence obtained a grant of several houses in Chapelizod (No. IX, undated, 65-67).
