What is recorded here

Emlygrennan Church vanished entirely, leaving only a rectangular graveyard and St. Molua's Well two hundred metres east. Prince John granted the land in 1185, yet Edward III still argued over its living in 1346. The building itself has surrendered to time, but the well remains, holding the name and memory of the place.

No surface remains visible of Emlygrennan Church which stood in centre of rectangular shaped graveyard (LI048-015002-). St. Molua's Well (LI048-017----) 200m to E. Westropp (1904-5, 428) recorded the following details about Emlygrennan Church dedicated to St. Molua; 'Imelach Dregingi granted to Magio by Prince John, 1185; confirmed, 1200 (ante); Imlech Dromgi, 1201; Imelach Dreyn, 1302; Imelach Dreynyn, to which Edward III. presented Hugh de Waldene, but Adam Harte was found to hold the living, 1346 (Pat. R.); Emiligrenan, or Ballaghrinine, dedicated to St. Molluo, May 5, 1410; Imlagh Drynyn, 1418; Emlach Grenan, 1591. Site - Church levelled; but St. Molua's Well [LI048-017----] remains near Balline'.
