A reflection by lay reader Tom Healy on St Doulagh’s Church, Kinsealy
St Doulagh’s Church is described, in Irish, as Clochar Dúiligh. Normally, the word ‘Clochar’ refers to a convent. I wonder if the use of stone in this pre–Norman church including the stone baptistery gave rise to the expression Clochar Dúiligh? Be that as it may, we are standing on holy ground.
