The History

Dating right back to the 5th Century, Macreddin Village was home to early pre-Christian habitants of Ireland. The famous Saint Kevin arrived in the Macreddin district to establish his fifth century monastery which was occupied by a chief named Credin. In the ancient manuscript “The Latin Life of Kevin” it is described how Credin was killed by his enemies and miraculously brought back to life by Saint Kevin. Macreddin Village, named after chief Credin, grew into an area of great importance, at one stage sending two members to the Irish House of Commons, before slowly slipping into decline in the late nineteenth century.
