Now a collaboration between the Library and Mullingar Union, has enabled the volume to be expertly digitised by Informa, and presented online for the first time as the Library\u2019s Archive of the Month.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"image portrait\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ireland.anglican.org\/cmsfiles\/images\/aboutus\/AOFTM\/2019\/October2019\/RCB_Library_P336.20.1_Pg1.jpg\" alt=\"RCB Library P336.20.1 Pg.1\" width=\"504\" height=\"622\" align=\"\" \/><figcaption>RCB Library P336.20.1 Pg.1<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Several branches of the Reynell family lived in the Mullingar area for at least three generations before William Reynell was born in 1836.

For example, RCB Library MS 921 contains a miscellany of papers relating to the diocese of Derry, while MS 1082 is a notebook on sources for the parish histories of Carrick (Derry) and Newtown Kells (Meath).<\/p>\n<p>By the time Reynell compiled the Mullingar scrapbook, he was retired and living at 8 Henrietta Street in Dublin, on the same street as the Registry of Deeds, which undoubtedly facilitated his research. The Mullingar scrapbook is more extensive than the other two, revealing a depth of research, which is explained by the fact that he published \u2018The Parochial History of Mullingar\u2019 in parts within various monthly editions of the All Saints\u2019 Mullingar Parish Magazine during 1886 under the title \u2018Some account of the Parish of Molyngar hodie Mullingar\u2019. Helpfully, the scrapbook contains\u00a0an almost\u00a0full run of these publications which\u00a0the Library\u00a0has kindly\u00a0completed here, the absent editions for August and September 1886 now available here as a standalone pdf on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ireland.anglican.org\/cmsfiles\/images\/aboutus\/AOFTM\/2019\/October2019\/All-Saints-Mullingar-Parish-Magazine-August---Sptember-1886.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">this link<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>All Saints\u2019 Church, Mullingar, was first referred to in a charter of 1192 \u2013 1202, which noted that the church had been given to the Augustinian priory of Llanthony Prima in Wales by Simon of Rochford, Bishop of Meath. The link with Llanthony was retained until the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1540 during the reign of Henry VIII.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"image landscape\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ireland.anglican.org\/cmsfiles\/images\/aboutus\/AOFTM\/2019\/October2019\/Chuch-Collage.jpg\" alt=\"Left- All Saints' Church, Mullingar Right- Ruins of Llanthony Abbey.

Amongst them are the following:<\/p>\n<p>1. The mill on the left side of the stream.<br \/>\n2. The dumb mill.<br \/>\n3. The red mill.<br \/>\n4. The short mill.<\/p>\n<p>Today, the accepted translation is the left\u2013handed mill.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"image portrait\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ireland.anglican.org\/cmsfiles\/images\/aboutus\/AOFTM\/2019\/October2019\/RCB_Library_P336.20.1_Pg18.jpg\" alt=\"Sketch of the 'Sigillum commune de Mollingar' from RCB Library P336.20.1 Pg18\" width=\"520\" height=\"550\" align=\"\" \/><figcaption>Sketch of the &#8216;Sigillum commune de Mollingar&#8217; from RCB Library P336.20.1 Pg18<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>All of the foregoing interpretations refer to this mill, and the town seal bore as its chief device a \u2018mill wheel\u2019. This seal was lost, but turned up c.1880, when a peasant found it on his land. The seal passed through a number of hands, eventually ending up with an Alderman Day of Cork. The seal may be described as a circular bronze 2.25 inches in diameter. The central object in the seal is a waterwheel, beneath an archway, under which the water is flowing. Immediately above this is an implement resembling the square beetle, with a diapered pattern, which washerwomen use, but equally resembles a heckle for teasing or tearing flax or carding blankets. On the sinister (left) side of the arch is an embattled tower, out of which issues a demi\u2013griffin rampant, while on the dexter (right)\u00a0side is what may be called a church spire, with a bird resting on its cross, and beneath is a tented field with pennants flying. Around is the legend \u2018Sigillum commune de Mollingar\u2019. We have upon the \u2018Sigil\u2019 the symbol of the town in the waterwheel and heckle, which probably were typical of the staple trade of the place in the 16th or 17th centuries, from which the seal dates. The flange\u2013like handle upon the back of the seal is partly perfect, in other respects it has been well preserved. The seal is now on display in the Medieval Section of the National Museum of Ireland, Kildare Street, Dublin.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the parish church (dedicated as All Saints\u2019) there were three monastic establishments in the town of Mullingar. The oldest was the Augustinian Priory of St Mary, commonly known as \u2018The House of God of Mullingar\u2019, founded in 1227 by Ralph le Petyt, Bishop of Meath. This priory was richly endowed, one portion of its privileges was that the prior received from every house within the liberties of Mullingar, and out of every brewing, one measure of ale, commonly called \u2018The Mary gallon\u2019.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"image portrait\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ireland.anglican.org\/cmsfiles\/images\/aboutus\/AOFTM\/2019\/October2019\/RCB_Library_P336.20.1_Pg61.jpg\" alt=\"RCB Library P336.20.1 Pg61 - Extract from All Saint's Mullingar Parish Magazine outlining the establishment of the three monastic settlements in the area\" width=\"600\" height=\"780\" align=\"\" \/><figcaption>RCB Library P336.20.1 Pg61 &#8211; Extract from All Saint&#8217;s Mullingar Parish Magazine outlining the establishment of the three monastic settlements in the area<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The second monastic establishment in Mullingar was the Dominican Friary founded 10 years later than the Augustinian House in 1237, by the Nugent family. Within the century which followed its foundation, several chapters of the order were held within its walls.<\/p>\n<p>The third religious house in Mullingar was that of the Order of St Francis. This house was commenced by the Friars of Multifermam, but was never completed. As to the sites of the other two houses, Sir Henry Piers wrote in 1680: \u2018One of these stood in the east end of the town; the other on the west end of town, the ruins of which are at this day scarcely visible\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>We learn something of the state of the diocese of Meath in the mid\u201316th century from a letter written by the then\u00a0Rt Revd\u00a0Hugh Brady to the Secretary of State. Hugh Brady was appointed as bishop of Meath on 21 October 1563, and on 14 March the following year he wrote to Sir William Cecil, the secretary of state:<\/p>\n<blockquote dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Right Honourable, I now by experience find that a Bishopric is a greater burden than any honour. If I should respect quietness of life and contentment of mind I had rather be a Stipendiary Priest in England than Bishop of Meath in Ireland. O, what a sea of troubles have I entered into!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><em>\u201c\u2026Storms rising on every side. The ungodly Lawyers are not only sworn enemies to the truth, but also; for lack of due execution of law, the overthrowers of the country. The ragged clergy are stubborn and ignorantly blind, so as there is little hope of their amendment; the simple multitude is through continual ignorance hardly to be won. So I find on all sides difficulty\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Bishop Brady seems to have gone to his work courageously and with some success. A regal visitation was held in 1615, about 30 years after his death and records that:<\/p>\n<blockquote dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The number of preachers in this Diocese is thirty five. The number of reading ministers is forty. There is a public school kept in this Diocese at Trim by Thomas Whiteby, Minister and Preacher at Trim, and appointed by the Bishop of Meath to teach the public school there.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>On 23 October 1641 the great Irish Rebellion commenced. The siege of Athlone soon followed, and in the immediate neighbourhood of Mullingar, on 7 February 1642, the famous battle between the Irish under General Thomas Preston, and the British under Sir Richard Greville, eventuating in the utter defeat of the former, was fought at the Pass of Rathconnell. At the outbreak of disturbances, William Sibthorp, parish clerk of Mullingar was hanged by the Irish, and Edmond Dalton and Mr Moorehead\u2019s son were murdered, but there is no other mention of Mullingar during the stormy period which then ensued of civil war in Great Britain and Ireland.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"image landscape\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ireland.anglican.org\/cmsfiles\/images\/aboutus\/AOFTM\/2019\/October2019\/RCB_Library_P336.20.1_Pg8.jpg\" alt=\"RCB Library P336.20.1 Pg 8: Transcription of an extract from London Magazine\" width=\"1100\" height=\"309\" align=\"\" \/><figcaption>RCB Library P336.20.1 Pg 8: Transcription of an extract from London Magazine<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We learn from an extract from the\u00a0<em>London Magazine<\/em>\u00a0included in the scrapbook that \u2018on 29th July 1747 the town of Mullingar in the county Westmeath was in a great measure consumed by an accidental fire\u2019. In spite of this disaster, later evidence of improvement of the town c.1800 is provided:<\/p>\n<blockquote dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Mullingar is improving much, and considerably enlarging since the Royal Canal reached it. It is situated in a fine fertile country which abounds with woods and water and thickly inhabited. Being the shire town of County Westmeath it has an excellent Courthouse, a large building which makes a good appearance in the principle street\u2026<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><em>\u201c\u2026There is also a market house, a good stone building, and the County Jail. The houses in the main street are mostly 3 storey high and slated. As to their places of worship, the Roman Catholic chapel has the advantage, being a large new building, making a very decent appearance and accommodating a very large and respectable congregation. However I would recommend to the Protestant inhabitants of that town and neighbourhood to erect a better building for the service of their God, than the old church, which seems occasionally vamped up with a kind of niggardly parsimoniousness unworthy of the chief town of the County Westmeath. There is generally a Regiment of Foot besides Cavalry quartered in Mullingar; at present their accommodation is very tolerable, but a new barracks is to be immediately built, which will still further add to the beauty of this thriving town.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>A meeting of All Saints\u2019 vestry presided over by the Revd Francis Lambert, then vicar of Mullingar, was held in October 1813. It was resolved that the parish church should be rebuilt and a spire added to the tower. These works were carried out in 1814 during the incumbency of the Revd Robinson, and the church took on the form as seen today. In 1856 the Revd John Hopkins was appointed vicar of All Saints\u2019, during his tenure the present vestry room and the chancel aisle, or chapel, appropriated to the Lyons\u2019 family, were added to the fabric. The Revd Charles Parsons Reichel DD succeeded Hopkins as vicar of All Saints\u2019 in July 1864. During his tenure the great bell, which now hangs in the tower, was purchased by subscription. The bell was cast by the firm of J. Murphy of Dublin, and cost \u00a3300. It was described in 1870 as being \u2018one of the largest bells of its type in Ireland, it is 15 feet in circumference and 5 feet tall \u2026 [and]\u00a0weighed two and a half tons\u2019. When the bell arrived at the church, the doorway of the tower had to be enlarged to get the bell into the church. The bell pealed for the first time in October 1870; it rang out in C sharp tenor.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"image landscape\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ireland.anglican.org\/cmsfiles\/images\/aboutus\/AOFTM\/2019\/October2019\/RCB_Library_P336.20.1_Pg19.jpg\" alt=\"RCB Library P336.20.1 Pg 20 - Note indicating date of construction for the new church building\" width=\"2104\" height=\"404\" align=\"\" \/><figcaption>RCB Library P336.20.1 Pg 20 &#8211; Note indicating date of construction for the new church building<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Revd Dr Reichel left Mullingar in 1875, and in 1885 he was elected bishop of Meath. He was one of only two rectors the parish to become the bishop of the diocese of Meath, the other being Ralph le Petit in the 13th century. Dr Reichel was consecrated in St Patrick\u2019s Cathedral, Dublin, on Tuesday 29 September 1885, being the Feast of Saint Michael and All Angels. The archbishop of Dublin acted on this occasion in place of the Lord Primate, who was unable to attend through old age and infirmity. Also present were the bishops of Down and Connor, Kilmore, Elphin and Ardagh, and Killaloe and Clonfert.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0<em>Report of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, Ireland<\/em>, ordered to be printed by the House of Commons in 1837, contains the following account of Mullingar church which gives us a vivid picture of what it was like in the 19th century.
