STONEYFORD
"Stoneyford",
a village, partly in the parish of
Ennisnag, barony of Shilleloger, but chiefly in that of
Church-Jerpoint, barony of Knocktopher, county
of Kilkenny, and province of Leinster, 6 miles (S.) from Kilkenny, on
the road to Waterford; containing 74 houses and 445 inhabitants. It is a
chief station of the constabulary police, and has a penny post to
Thomastown. Petty sessions are held every alternate week. Here is a
neat R. C. chapel, also a dispensary and fever hospital, maintained in the
customary manner; and schools for boys and girls, and one for infants,
are patronised by Mr. and Mrs. Flood, of Flood Hall.
