St James Church and Graveyard Book Launch! – A must for those with an interest in the history of Dublin
Historian Sean J Murphy has launched his new book on the history of St James Church (presently Lyons Distillery) and graveyard from its foundations in the 12th Century straight to its currently life as a distillery. Mr Murphy has contributed some wonderful local history articles to this website to which we will always be grateful. I can tell you, having so far read a substantial portion of his book, that his knowledge on the area and specifically the church is incredibly thorough. I fancy myself someone interested in local history and I learned quite a lot from this book so far (I’m far from finished!).
It can be purchased online here https://kilmainhamtales.ie/kts-12—st-jamess-church.php
I really could not recommend it more for local history buffs.
