an episcopal town of Ireland, in the county of Tyrone, and province of Ulster. It sent two members to the Irish parliament. In a very early age an abbey of regular canons, dedicated to the Vir- gin Mary, was founded here. St Patrick is said to have presided over the church of Clogher; and having appointed St Kertenn to be his successor, he resigned this government, and went to Armagh, where he found- ed his celebrated abbey. On the 26th of April 1396, a dreadful fire burnt to the ground the church, the two chapels, the abbey, the court of the bishops, and thirty-two other buildings, with all the sacerdotal vest- ments, utensils, &c. belonging to the bishop's chapter and church. In the year 1610, on the 24th of July whilst George Montgomery was bishop of Clogher, King James annexed this abbey and its revenues to that see. The see (valued in the king's books at £350l. per annum by extent returned 15th James I.) is re- puted to be worth £4000l. annually. W. Long. 6. 50 N. Lat. 54. 30.
