St. David's Church, Kilsallaghan

St. David's Church, Kilsallaghan, is a Church of Ireland, church in north County Dublin. Today the parish of Kilsallaghan is part of the Swords (St. Columba's), Donabate (St. Patrick's) and Kilsallaghan Union of Parishes (which includes Clonmethan, and Lusk) The present church was built in 1812, supported by the Board of First Fruits. In 1871 the parish was united with Swords, and in 1968 Donabate joined the United Parish. The church contains stained glass windows by the artist Michael Healy (1873–1941). It had operated as the chapel for the castle at Kilsllaghan. An earlier priory existed in Kilsallaghan. Up until the 17th century there was a chapel of ease at Chapel-Midway (as the name indicates roughly halfway between Kilsallaghan and St. Margaret's); the ruins of the chapel are within the walled graveyard, which is now managed by Fingal County Council, there has been the occasional interment even in recent years. In 1864 Rev. Crofts Bullen, donated a piece of land for a nominal sum to facilitate the building of the first Kilcoskan National School.
