History
Of Terenure
Terenure come from the Irish” the land of the yew tree”.
Terenure is in South Dublin, beside Kimmage and Harold’s
Cross.
Terenure, Drimnagh and
Kimmage, on the south side of Dublin City, were given to the Barnewell family
by King John in 1215. The Barnewells gave some of the land to St John
The Baptist Hospital outside Newgate, and Cromwell confiscated
the remainder from them. Terenure passed through the hands of various owners
since then, including what is now Terenure College (bought by the Carmelites in 1860).
Terenure is the home of the The Star
newspaper.
