Palmerstown, Fingal
Palmerstown (Irish: Baile Phámar[1]) is a civil parish in the barony of Balrothery West in the modern county of Fingal, Ireland.[1] It comprises six townlands: Cottrelstown, Folly, Jordanstown, Palmerstown, Whitestown, and Wolganstown.[1] It is surrounded by the parishes of Clonmethan to the east, Grallagh to the north, Ballymadun to the northeast, Donaghmore to the southeast, and Greenoge to the south; the last two being in County Meath.[2] Samuel Lewis recorded in 1837, when the Church of Ireland was the established church and the civil parish was conterminous with the ecclesiastical parish:[3]
Good building stone is found in the parish. It is a rectory and vicarage, in the diocese of Dublin; the rectory is appropriate to the vicars choral of the cathedral of Dublin, and the vicarage forms part of the union and corps of the prebend of Clonmethan: of the tithes, amounting to £135, two-thirds are payable to the vicars choral, and the remainder to the vicar.[citation needed]
