Abstract

This thesis examines four decades and two distinct phases of the ‘Second Reformation’ in Ireland through a case study of Rev. Robert Winning and the Kingscourt District with which he was closely associated. The Kingscourt District defines the geographical parameters of this study; the period between 1798 and 1861 its chronological limits. The early date, 1798, is preferred as the starting point. It marks the beginning of the episcopacy of Thomas Lewis O’Beirne and his programme of reform and improvement in the Church of Ireland diocese of Meath, which left many of the Meath diocesan clergy ready for the ‘Second Reformation’ in 1822. The year 1861, and the death of Rev. Winning, is chosen as the closing date.
