Church of Ireland parish
editLike all civil parishes, this civil parish is derived from, and co-extensive with a pre-existing Church of Ireland parish of the same name.[citation needed]
The lands of Athnid parish were owned by the Cistercian Abbey of Woney in County Limerick.[3] The lands of the parish were mentioned in rent returns for 1303.[4]
Lewis said that the vicarage of Athnid was "partly united, by act of council, in 1682" to the living of the Church of Ireland parish of Thurles.[5]
