Roger,

The townland of Clonbrock lies between the villages of Newtown and Crettyard
- the N 78 national road runs right through all 3 places. About a half mile
west of Clonbrock, is the RC church of St. Abban's in the townland (and parish)
of Doonane. About a mile and a half ESE of Clonbrock in the townland of Mayo
is the RC church of Blessed Virgin Mary - also in the RC parish of Doonane.

About a third of a mile west of this RC church, but still in the townland of
Mayo, is a Church of Ireland church. I can't retrieve the name of the church
from the parish website - the clickable link doesn't work (some sort of "loop
system fitted" - which I can't access). But this C of I church is in Mayo
townland, Killeshin Parish, Leighlin Diocese. The webpage for this parish is:

Perhaps you'll be able to figure it out. Also, Jane will probably know the
name of this church, or at least know how to find it. That's as close as I can
get to the answer.
