Appraisal
A vault erected (1847) by Edward Barrington JP (1796-1877) of Fassaroe House, County Wicklow, representing an integral component of the built heritage of south County Dublin. NOTE: In addition to eight of his nineteen children produced by two marriages, including identically-named sons Richard Manliffe Barrington (1829-47) and Richard Manliffe Barrington (1849-1915), the vault contains the reinterred remains of his father John Barrington (1764-1824); brother John Barrington (1800-36); and sister Selina Barrington (1805-36), all of whom died of Typhus and were originally buried in nearby Tully Graveyard [SMR DU026-023002-].
