Quotes[edit]

Otway‐Ruthven:[9]

In the fourteenth century the county of Dublin was divided into the four serjeanties of the vale of Leinster (approximately the modern barony of Newcastle), Bree (the modern baronies of Rathdown in Dublin and Wicklow), and Fingal on either side of the water of Gower, which can be identified as the Broad Meadow Water (the whole county north of the Liffey), in addition to the Crosses, that is, the lands of the archbishop of Dublin, which were administered for most purposes by the archbishop's officials, not the king's, and included islands of territory scattered throughout the county, as well as most of the Wicklow mountains and Tipperkevin, Ballymore, and Ballybought. By 1455 the baronies of Newcastle of Lyons, Rathdown, Castleknock, Coolock, and Balrothery were in existence, while the Crosses continued as before. This was still the position in 1655, when the Civil Survey was made, with the Crosses divided into the baronies of Upper and Nether Cross. Substantial alterations in barony boundaries have since been made, but need not be detailed here.

J. H. Andrews:Andrews, J. H. (26 January 2010). "Medium and message in early six‐inch Irish ordnance maps : The case of Dublin city" (PDF). Irish Geography. 6 (5): 579–593 : 582. doi:10.1080/00750777309555704.

Sheet 18 of the Dublin county map was engraved between June 1837 and December 1841 ... Throughout the country, an essential preliminary to the official mapping of the ground had been the delimitation of townlands, parishes, baronies and counties, and in 1825 a special department, independent of the Ordnance officers but in close touch with them, had been set up for this purpose. Until it reached Dublin the boundary department had usually managed to keep ahead of the survey proper; but in this county the territorial pattern was found to be so complex and irrational that the government decided not to publish the map until the boundaries had been reformed. When the reformation was finally given legal validity in August 1842 (5 & 6 Vic, c. 96), the Survey had to mount a quick programme of revision to catch up with the landscape changes of the six previous years.

A MAP of The Boundaries of the COUNTY of the CITY of DUBLIN on the North East side thereof (1805) "Beginning at the BROAD STONE and Ending at the termination of the CITY BOUNDARY on the NORTH EAST side of Said City" By order of "Commissioners appointed to ascertain said Boundaries", who were three aldermen and a council member, and "John Hamilton of Hacketstown in the County of Dublin".

Liberties and manors[edit]

(p.289) Within and adjoining to the city of Dublin are five local jurisdictions, which are in many respects exclusive, and independent of the authority of the corporation. Four of these extend, in part, within the limits of the county of the city, but all are so connected with the exercise of the municipal authority of the corporation, that, in reference to the purposes of our Commission, we have deemed it our duty to make inquiry into, and report upon them. The districts over which these local jurisdictions extend are called liberties or manors; they

1st. The liberty of St. Sepulchre.
2nd. The liberty or manor of Thomas Court and Donore.
3rd. The liberty of the Deanery of St. Patrick.
4th. The manor of Glassnevin or Grange Gorman, and liberty of Christ Church.
5th. The manor of Kilmainham.
There was formerly a sixth, the manor of Mary's Abbey, but the exercise of all manorial jurisdiction therein has long ceased.

The first three are popularly called the Liberties. [*

  • footnote The “liberties of the city,” mentioned in the 10 Geo. I. c. 3; 11 Geo. II. c. 11, s. 10; 11 Geo. II. c. 13, s. 3; 11, 12 Geo. III. c. 11, s. 50, and several other Acts, are evidently distinguished from the liberties of St. Sepulchre's, of Thomas Court and Donore, of St. Patrick's, and of Christ Church, which are described as liberties “adjoining" the city.]

Should add "liberty" and "manor" columns to table.

D'Alton p.20

Some few centuries after the establishment of Christianity in Ireland in the fifth century, those districts of the country, known by the name of Croceæ or Crosslands, were dedicated to the church, and most extensive jurisdiction was given to the abbots and bishops therein. Such were the Croceæ of Ulster, Kilkenny, Meath, Kildare, Louth, Kerry, Navan, Ferns, Carlow, Wexford, Leighlin, &c., and such, more particularly as concerns this history, were the Croceæ or liberties of the cross of the Archbishop of Dublin : and, as in England, the symbol of triumphant Christianity was frequently set up to mark the boundaries of civil districts, so in Ireland, but with more propriety, crosses, some of them very handsomely ornamented, were erected to distinguish the ecclesiastical possessions.
The cross lands of Dublin appear to have been partly in the northern, and partly in the southern sections of the county, and indeed the names of two of its baronies, so respectively situated, Nether-Cross, and Upper-Cross, although not of course precisely commensurate with the ancient croceæ,[d 1] do still designate large portions of their superficies, and exhibit, in the scattered and insulated state of their component parts, the natural consequence of uniting in one civil division tracts so adventitiously appropriated. The Northern Croceæ retain some of the actual crosses as at St. Doulogh's and Finglas, while another, called pardon cross, is particularly recorded as having been erected at Swords. Clondalkin, Tullagh, St. Anne's, the Kill of the Grange, Kiltuc, and Rath
  1. ^ For example, Holmpatrick, Lambay, and Ireland's Eye, were in the Northern Croceæ, though the first is now accounted in Balrothery, the two last in Coolock Barony; and Tawney, now classed in Rathdown, was then in the Southern Croceæ.

Inconsistencies between the MunComm and ManorCt reports on which are manors. As to which civ pars are in each manor, no cps at all in MunComm, and only list in ManorCt, though ordering gives some clue as likely that cps relate to nearest manor in list. But really I need to use other sources to address these inconsistencies and gaps.

Monck 1820 p.xiii lists 13 prebendary parishes of StPats, which seem to overlap with those of the liberty. JSTOR p.4 31 March 1192 bull mentions parishes/prebends granted by Archbishop for canons of St Pats; Monck 1820 has the Latin text in an Appendix.

Christ Church vs Glassnevin or Grange Gorman[edit]

MCI Rpt on Dublin, 1835, pp.289, 302-5 does not make clear whether

  1. "manor of Glassnevin" is synonym of "liberty of Christ Church"
  2. "manor of Glassnevin" is the area outside the city limits, "liberty of Christ Church" the precincts of the Cathedral enclaved by the city
  3. "manor of Glassnevin" is one of several manors [the others being unnamed in Rpt] which together make up the "liberty of Christ Church"

[Limits of.] (p.302-3; Heading "MANOR OF GLASS~NEVIN, or GRANGE~GORMAN") This manor comprehends a considerable portion of the modern city of Dublin. By a return from the register it is stated to contain,

  • to the north of the river Liffey,
    • the whole of the wealthy and populous parish of St. George (including within it Mountjoy Square and several of the adjacent streets) as far as the north side of Frederick Street, Great Britain Street, from the Rotunda, and the north side of Summer Hill;
    • the parish of Grange Gorman, within which are Grange Gorman Lane, Manor Street, Prussia Street, Aughrim Street,
    • the populous village of Phibsborough, which may be considered a part of the city itself,
    • and the parish of Glassnevin.
  • Its limits are also said to extend over the barony of Coolock, which comprehends the villages of Howth, Baldoyle, Raheny, Artane, Clontarf, Richmond, Drumcondra, Santry, Cloughran, and St. Margaret's, many of which are very populous;
  • the barony of Castleknock, containing the village of Blanchardstown and parish of Castleknock, Barberstown,
  • and, to the south of the river, the important villages of Kingstown, Killiney, Dalkey, Stillorgan, and other places of minor note as far as Bray, all in the barony of Rathdown, are alleged by the seneschal to be included, and jurisdiction is exercised over them;
  • and, in addition to this extensive district, extending six or seven miles to the north of Dublin, and nearly ten miles to the south, over which the jurisdiction of the manor court is stated to have been actually exercised from time immemorial, it is considered by the seneschal that the jurisdiction, although not claimed, includes the city of Dublin itself.

We have not been able to obtain a copy of the charter, which, under the 20 sec. of the 27 Geo. III. c. 22, should be lodged with the clerk of the peace; but the seneschal informed us that the exact boundaries of the liberty are not laid down in the charter from which the jurisdiction is derived otherwise than as enumerating the several manors included therein; the names having, he says, become obsolete, it would be difficult now to ascertain from them the precise limits of the ancient jurisdiction.

[Charter.] (p.303-4; The authority under which this jurisdiction is exercised is stated to be a Charter granted by King James I. (1603) to the then newly-incorporated body, the dean and chapter of the cathedral of Christchurch, who are lords of the manor of Glassnevin, and the other manors within the liberty. [later p.304-5 discusses Manor Count of Grange Gorman/Glassnevin; no mention of other manors]

This charter is alleged to contain inspeximuses of charters of Henry VIII., Mary, and Edward, granted to the prior and convent of the cathedral church of the Holy Trinity, to whom the present corporate body succeeded, and whose possessions they obtained on the Reformation; and to confirm all the former grants made to the convent.
