Terenure, Drimnagh and Kimmage, on the south side of Dublin City, were given to the Barnwell family by King John in 1215. The Barnwells gave some of the land to St John The Baptist Hospital outside Newgate, and Cromwell confiscated the remainder from them. Terenure passed through the hands of various owners since then, including what is now Terenure College, bought by the Carmelites in 1860.
