Macreddin (Irish: Maigh Chríodáin[1]), formerly Carysfort[2] (also Cariesfort[3]), is a hamlet in County Wicklow,[4] in the civil parish of Ballykine, barony of Ballinacor South.[1] It lies in the hills 4 km north of Aughrim on the back road to Greenan.[5] It gives its name to two townlands, Macreddin East and Macreddin West.[1][6]

History

The name Macreddin is believed to come from the Irish Maigh Chríodáin "plain of Críodán",[1][7] related to a medieval church originally dedicated to "Criotan, Credan, Credanus, or Cridanus", son of Iladon, who was also venerated at nearby Aghavannagh.[6] The church was later dedicated to Saint Brigid and (in 1864[6]) to Laurence O'Toole; it is now in ruins. Macreddin was granted to the monastery of St Saviour, Glendalough in the 12th century.[7] When the Diocese of Glendalough was merged with the Archdiocese of Dublin, Macreddin was transferred to the Priory of All Hallows on the site later taken by Trinity College, Dublin.[7]

In the Church of Ireland, Carysfort was a royal chapelry within the perpetual curacy of Ballinaclash.[8]

To merge in

"Cary's fort" was erected in 1625-28 and apparently named after Henry Cary, 1st Viscount Falkland, who was then Lord Deputy of Ireland[9] and encouraging the planting and garrisoning of Leinster by English colonists.[2] In 1628/9, Carysfort was incorporated under a charter of Charles I of England.[10][11][2] The 1835 report of the Commissioners into Municipal Corporations in Ireland stated the charter did not appear "ever to have been acted on for any corporate purpose except that of returning Parliament before the Union".[3] The elevation of Carysfort was too high and settlers soon moved south down the valley to Aughrim.[2] Wicklow County Council's development plan recognises the site as an area of archaeological potential and significance as "Site of one of the few 17th century Plantation Towns established in Leinster".[12] There was a fairground at the crossroads, with "riotous" fairs held on Whit Monday and 12 November.[13][14] Michael Dwyer stayed in Macreddin when repairing to the Wicklow Mountains after the 1798 Rising.[15]

Samuel Lewis' Topographical Dictionary of Ireland:[16]

CARYSFORT, MOYCREDDIN, or MOYCREDYNE, a borough, in the parish of RATHDRUM, barony of BALLINACOR, county of WICKLOW, and province of LEINSTER, 5 miles (S. W.) from Rathdrum: the population is returned with the parish. This place, which is situated on the road from Rathdrum to Carnew, was formerly appropriated to the priory of All Saints, Dublin; and in the reign of Henry VIII. was granted to the mayor, bailiffs, and commons of that city. During the lieutenancy of Lord Falkland, between the years 1625 and 1629, a castle was erected here in order to check the turbulent septs of O'Toole and O'Byrne: but in 1641, the garrison being withdrawn to Dublin on a case of emergency, and the castle being left in the custody of a few unarmed English, it was surprised and taken by the O'Byrnes, who had intercepted a supply of arms and ammunition sent for its defence. By a charter of Charles I., in. 1628, this place was erected into a small military depot, and constituted a borough, under the control of a sovereign and twelve free burgesses.
The corporation was endowed with lands not only for their own support, but also for maintaining the garrison of the castle; and the sovereign was made a justice of the peace, and for a year after the expiration of his office presided in a court for the recovery of debts not exceeding £20. The same charter also conferred upon the sovereign and free burgesses the privilege of returning two representatives to the Irish parliament, which they continued to exercise till the Union, when the borough was disfranchised, and the £15,000 granted as compensation was awarded to John, Earl of Carysfort. This town has dwindled into a small village, consisting only of a few houses of the humblest class, situated in a mountainous district. The corporation appear to have scarcely exercised any of their rights, except that of returning members to parliament, and at present it seems totally extinct as a borough. Fairs are held on Whit-Monday, Nov. 12th, and Dec. 26th. Here is a chapel, which was formerly endowed by the charter of Charles I. with 130 acres of land, for the maintenance of a chaplain, whose appointment was vested in the sovereign and burgesses, or, on their failing to appoint, the income from the endowment was to be paid to any minister officiating in the town. From the extinction of the corporation, the endowment is lost, but the service of the chapel is performed by the rector of Rathdrum, or his curate.
There is a R. C. chapel, which is the parochial chapel of Rathdrum. The Royal chartered school was founded by Charles I., who granted to the sovereign and burgesses 200 acres of arable land and 97 acres of mountain and bog, for the sole use of such schoolmaster as the deputy or other chief governor of Ireland should appoint to reside and teach in the borough. This endowment had been for many years comparatively unavailing; a school was kept in a miserable cabin, and under an inefficient teacher; but a large and commodious school-house, with comfortable apartments for the master and his family, was recently built by the Board of Education, and there are now more than 100 children in the school. The income arising from the endowment, about £160 per annum, is received by the Board, who pay the master's salary, provide all school requisites, and keep the buildings in repair. Carysfort gives the titles of Earl and Baron to the family of Proby.—See RATHDRUM.

The 1846 Parliamentary Gazetteer of Ireland, largely summarising the 1835 Commissioners' report, states:[8]

CARYSFORT, Macreddin, or Moycreedin
a village, and formerly a borough, in the parish of Rathdrum, barony of North Ballinacor, co. Wicklow, Leinster. It stands on an affluent of the Aughrim rivulet, 4½ miles south-west of the town of Rathdrum. It was made a borough by charter of 4 Charles I, but seems never to have exercised any corporate function except that of sending members to parliament. The £15,000 of compensation for its loss of franchise at the Legislative Union, was awarded to John, Earl of Carysfort; and all trace of a corporation seems to have soon afterwards disappeared. The charter of incorporation granted extensive properties in land; part to be held in free burgage; part to be applied to the maintenance of military occupants of a fort which was proposed to be erected within three years after the grant; part to serve as an endowment to 'preaching ministers' appointed by the corporation and residing in the borough; and part to be used for the support of a free-school in the town. Another charter was given in the 4th year of James II. The corporation consisted of a sovereign, 12 burgesses, and a number of 'free commons.' The statute of 53 George III transferred to the Commissioners of Education in Ireland the portion of the property which belonged to the free-school; and a report of 1833, says: "There are now about 361 acres of land belonging to Cariesfort school, vested in the Commissioners of Education. A sum of about £500 was expended on the schoolhouse; and it appears from the last returns from the master, that there were 110 scholars attending the school." All the other lands bestowed on the borough, including those which belonged to 'preaching ministers,' have been hopelessly alienated. The village now consists of a few poor cabins; it retains not a vestige of any fort or military establishment; it has no trade or commerce; and it stands amid a thinly-peopled mountainous district. Pop. returned with the parish. The family of Proby, originally from Wales, and long settled at Elton Hall in Huntingdonshire, take from Carysfort a noble title. Sir John Proby was created Baron Carysfort in the Irish peerage in 1752; and his only son, the second Baron, was created a British peer, by the title of Baron Carysfort of Normancross, in 1781, and was advanced to the dignity of Earl of Carysfort in 1789.

Royal School

Under the 1628 charter, Carysfort Royal School was established with a schoolhouse in the neighbouring townland of Sheeana More, and funded from revenue of lands there.[10][17][18] Management of the lands was transferred to Commissioners for Educational Endowments in Ireland under an 1813 Act of Parliament.[17][19][8] An 1810 work said "about 50 Boys attend in summer, but not above a dozen in winter".[20] In 1833 the school had 110 students funded from 361 acres.[8] Whereas the other Royal Schools established by the Stuart kings were grammar schools, the Carysfort school was "a small, neglected, and inefficient primary school"[21] and in 1887 the The Commissioners recommended using its endowment to fund schools in more convenient locations in Aughrim and Rathdrum.[22] In 1925 the management was transferred to the Department of Education of the new Irish Free State,[23] where it is still vested.[24]

Parliamentary borough

Carysfort was a borough constituency sending two MPs to the Irish House of Commons. It was a pocket borough of the Proby family, who took the title Baron Carysfort. It was disfranchised under the Act of Union 1800, and John Joshua Proby, 1st Earl of Carysfort received the standard £15,000 compensation for the loss of its patronage.[9][3][8]

Today

Southwest of the historic centre of the hamlet is a tourist complex comprising the Brooklodge Hotel, Wells Spa, "Macreddin Village" and golf club.[25][26]
