English: St Mary's Church Clonsilla, near to Clonsilla, Hartstown, Luttrellstown, Annfield and Phibblestown, Dublin, Ireland. The land on which St Mary's church stands has an ecclesiastical history going back to 500AD. The present church was built in 1845 with the tower added in 1850 during the office of Archbishop Whateley (1831 - 1863). The bell in the tower is dated 1747 and was cast in Gloucester. In 1907 Sir Arthur Vickers, the Ulster King at Arms, following the advice of a medium he had consulted, came to Clonsilla to search for the stolen insignia of Saint Patrick (the Irish State Crown Jewels). The visit ended in failure. Rumours still persist that the jewels are hidden somewhere in the grounds. <a title="http://www.castleknock.dublin.anglican.org/history/clonsilla.html" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.castleknock.dublin.anglican.org/history/clonsilla.html">Link</a><img style="padding-left:2px;" alt="External link" title="External link - shift click to open in new window" src="http://s0.geograph.org.uk/img/external.png" width="10" height="10"/>
