About
Laraghbryan (Irish: Láithreach Briúin) is the site of an old monastic settlement, cemetery and ruined church, 1 kilometre (0.6 mi) west of Maynooth, County Kildare, Ireland. It is in a civil parish of the same name. It is the site of a graveyard which is in use by the Roman Catholic Parish of Maynooth. The ruined church consists of a nave and chancel with a tower attached, most of the ruined structure was part of a church built in Norman times, however this church was built on the site of a previous ecclesiastical settlement. In 1770 when the first Duke of Leinster restored Saint Mary's Church of Ireland in Maynooth, the wooden East Window was removed from Laraghbryan and installed in Saint Mary's, where it is today.
