Random Notes CXV
Transcribed beneath is a mid eighteenth century list of the silver then in use in Carrigaline Church, taken from the ‘Carrigaline Combined Register; Baptisms, 1724-56 & Marriages 1726-92, with minutes of Select Vestry, 1722-1792’, the earliest known Carrigaline register, which is now, alas, unfortunately no longer in the care of the parish, having been sent to the Representative Church Library in Braemor Park, Churchtown, Dublin, c.1985. It is a sobering and quite fascinating thought to realise, and to contemplate that of the five pieces mentioned in this list, all, save the ‘Plate for Consecrated Bread’ are still in the Church, and in constant use, fulfilling the function that they were originally got for; Such continuity of use is remarkable, and truly quite wonderful.
‘A List of the Plate belonging to the Parish Church of Carrigaline
A Large Dish for Collecting the Offertory
A Plate for the Consecrated Bread
A Chalice for the Wine
A Small Patten for distributing ye bread
Ano 1735. A Silver flagon was given to the Church, value £6-00s-00d, to which an unknown name [at a later time, ‘an unknown name’ was scored through, and ‘Mrs Dorothy Newenham’ added} gave £12-00s-00d & ye Revd. Mr. Boyle Davies, Rectr. Added the remainder’
