Almost INVISIBLE BIT
St. Mary’s, the Church of Ireland Church of Comber, occupies the site of the Cistercian Abbey which seems to have been founded in 1198, according to an old catalogue of Cistercian Houses published in the 19th century by the Irish Archaeological Society. Ware (1745) and the Monasticum Hibernicum spell the original foundation as Cumerer and note an abbey of St Mary founded here in 1199 supplied with Cisterican monks from Alba Landa in Caermarthenshire.
The Monasticum Hibernicum (1786) suggests the White family, who were English, founded the abbey, although Harris (1744) in The Antient and Present State of County Down doubts this. Archdall (1786) suggests that Saint Patrick was the original founder of a monastic settlement here and that the founder was killed by John de Courcy about the year 1201. The Annals of Lough Ce confirm that an early religious foundation was created here on the shores of Strangford Lough as a precursor to the abbey. It notes that Cell Chomair (Comber) was burned in 1031 with its wooden church (dairtigh) and four clerics were killed and thirty captives were taken away. The Tripartite Life of Patrick relates the creation of a church by Conla, the son of Caelbadh (later the family Magennis) who presented Patrick with ‘a remarkable field for the purpose of erecting thereon a church on which we erected the monastery of Commer.’ This was done on the Elom Plain and the ancient name for the Comber River was Euler Comar in Irish meaning a confluence of the river and the sea. The Annals of the Four Masters also mention that in 1121 Cormac, Abbot of Comar was killed.
The first documentation relating to the new Cistercian Comber Abbey was a certificate signed by Andrew, Abbot of ‘Cummor’ and other dignitaries, testifying that they had been present at a visitation held by Randal, Bishop of Down at the monastery of Bangor on the 28th May 1251. Little more seems to be documented beyond its mention in the Papal Taxation of 1306 and its boundaries as laid down by the Convention of Rathbreasail The Synod of Rathbreasail took place in AD1111. It was a notable event in that it marked the transition of the Irish church from a monastic to a diocesan and parish-based church. Many Irish Roman Catholic and Church of Ireland (protestant) dioceses trace their boundaries to decisions made at the synod. It was the third of four great reforming. Irish synods, the other three were at Cashel (1101), Kells (1152) and Cashel again (1172) in 1115, which were noted by Bishop Reeves in his Ecclesiastical Records of the Diocese of Down, Connor and Dromore (PRONI Dio/1). The abbey burial ground may have included part of the modern Town Square, as bones were discovered there in 1844 when the Gillespie Monument foundations were being dug. St. Mary’s Church, Comber Archaeological Associates (Ireland) May 2006 - 22 - More is known about the demise of the Abbey during the Suppression by Henry VIII. John O’Mullegan was the last abbot and he voluntarily resigned in 1543 at a time when the Abbey was wealthy and owned seven townlands around the settlement (including Ballymonster which adjoined the Abbey itself). According to the later Inquisition of Ardquin on 4th July 1605 it also owned the rectories of and associated tithes of Saintfield, Ballymacgeehan, Kilmood, Kilaney and Temple Effin in Islandmagee. The Abbey buildings were burned in 1572 by Sir Brian McFelim O’Neill to prevent the English garrison fortifying it, according to O’Laverty (1880), although this reference may relate to skirmishes in the following year. On the 28th Oct 1572 Walter Devereaux, the Earl of Essex, wrote from Carrickfergus Castle to the Privy Council about the Baron of Dungannon, who had been sent to the relief of Cumber and was staying at the ford at Belfast. It was noted that Essex marched to their aid after a skirmish with Sir Brian McFelim when 100 died and Cumber burnt.

The buildings were burnt in 1573 during the earl of Essex’s campaigns in Ulster. Scottish settlers used the abbey as a source of building materials and the stone was also carried away for use in the construction of Mount Alexander, home of the Hamilton family (which is now destroyed).

In 1592 Queen Elizabeth leased the lands of the religious houses in Down to Henry, Earl of Kildare and the abbey and its possession were eventually granted by James I to James Hamilton, Lord Clandeboye at the rent of £3 2s 2d Irish. A number of early seventeenth century sources have been reviewed to source more detail about the condition and development of the site. The Inquisition of the Churches in the Ardes (1605) and the Letters Patent of James I 20th July (1609) to James Hamilton ‘by which several chapters of Down, Connor and Dromore were erected’ provide little detail. The former noted however that the ‘Ecclia de Comber’ was ‘in parte repaired’. It noted that the site ‘esteemed to be a rectory but all tithes taken up by Sir Hugh Montgomery or by Sir James Hamylton. Noe Vicarage distinguished.’ The church was rebuilt out of part of the remains of the Abbey around 1610 and paid for in part by Hugh Montgomery and Sir James Hamilton. The First Fruits Roll of Down Connor and Dromore in the King’s Book (1614) and A Ledger or Terrier of Down and Connor (c.1615) noted that Comber was exemptum est Cis tersensis exempt from tax, whilst Extracts from Grants to Sir Arthur Chichester (1621) yielded no specific information on the site. The Ulster Visitation of 1622 noted that ‘James Fresall art resident’, whilst the 1623 Roll of Inquisitions just noted the considerable townlands associated with the late dissolved monastic religious house of Comber. An account of a regal visitation in 1633-34 stated that the site had no rector. In the present church graveyard, early grave stones date from the 1630s. In 1644 the Irish Itinerary of Father Edmund McCanna records: ‘Lake Cuan makes a turn at a place called Commor. Previous to the outbreak of heresy there were two monasteries here, commonly called the Black and the White, from the colour of the garments worn by the inmates of these houses… Of these monasteries not even the ruins remain, for a colony of Scots, who settled there employed the stones of them building houses for themselves – so great was the passion of the heretics for demolishing sacred objects.’ It was the White Abbey which was the Cistercian one on the current site. The Black Abbey belonged to Augustinians and seems to have been on the site of the 19th Century Andrew’s Bleach Green. The Montgomery family, as McCanna notes, used much of the stone from the abbey in the early 1600s to build their Mount Alexander (now demolished) near the town. The property later passed by assignment to Viscount Ardes. St. Mary’s Church, Comber Archaeological Associates (Ireland) May 2006 - 23 - The Inquisition of Down held in 1657 notes the parish and rectory of Comber where ‘Mr James Gordon preacher minister hath a dwelling house and six acres of land’. A Map of Comber in 1722 shows the position of the church and glebe as it stands today, east of the Square which was to be redeveloped in 1731. Searches through the Montgomery and Stewart archive for estate maps, leases and other sources which might provide description or development of the Abbey have given no further useful information. The 1837 Ordnance Survey Memoir records: ‘Most westerly parish of lower Castlereagh. The church is small very old and oblong building situated near the centre of the town. It is said to have formed a part of some large and ancient establishment of which nothing more at present exists. It is capable of accommodating 300 persons. The church of Comber appears and old building, there is no tower or steeple. It is built like a common house with a small arch erected on its southern gable in which is a bell. There are some old monuments in the church’ (Day & McWilliams 1991, 35).

James, John, and Samuel Donaldson, were three brothers killed whilst serving with B Company, the 13th Bn, Royal Irish Rifles. They were from Comber, County Down.
