DúchasThe Ordnance Survey Map of 1837 shows the site of a monastic settlement in Drum (Drum Drestan) surrounded by an enclosure. The whole area covered about two hectares. Near the graveyard are the ruins of a church (probably eighteenth century). This church was used until the present church was opened. In 1862 a site was acquired for a new church and it was eventually opened by 1873. This church was reconstructed after Vatican II and was re-dedicated by Bishop Hanley in 1965. "The ruins of a post-Reformation church can be seen at Drum monastic site near St. Brigid's Well. The present church of St. Brigid was built in 1873. At the beginning it only had an earthen floor, the altar and altar rails were made of timber and the windows were of plain glass. Stained glass windows were fitted in the late 1920s. It was reconstructed in 1964 and renovated in recent times" - extract from Diocese of Elphin, An Innlustrated History, by Rev. Francis M. Beirne, 2007 Tobar Naomh Bríd, An DroimClose to the ruins of the old church is a well dedicated to St. Brigid. According to the Book of Lecan, St. Brigid or her coarb (her hermit successor) was entitled to the Baptismal Penny of the Tribes of Ui Maine. This was then divided in equal shares between Brideswell, Drum and Cluain Eamhain (Clonown), the three ancient churches of the Ui Maine territory.In the past a pattern was held at St. Brigid's Well on a certain Sunday of the year where people came, circled the well and prayed. From there they went to the old cemetery where they knelt and completed their prayers.
