  Kilcormac Missal - Offaly history, Archaeology, Offaly Towns, Heritage, Research, King's County
The adoption of the old place name "Kilcormac", instead of the foreign absurdity "Frankford", which had been introduced in 1760, renders it of interest to give some extracts from a rare manuscript known as "The Kilcormac Missal".
From the colophon we learn that the then Prior of Kilcormac was also an Irish Friar, Edward O' Higgins, and the good scribe, as was usual, asks a blessing on the souls of the Prior and himself.
Those children were owners of Kilcormac, and in April, 1561, John Parker, Master of the Rolls, wrote to Cecil desiring the reversion of said property.

 Kilcormac Pieta - Offaly history, Archaeology, Offaly Towns, Heritage, Research, King's County
Kilcormac is a village situated between Tullamore and Birr, so small most people pass through it with hardly a glance.
But the Kilcormac “Pieta” is different, being carved from a block of solid oak and measuring five feet by three.
It is thought that the Pieta is of Spanish origin and according to tradition it was donated to the parish by a rich lady in the 16th century.

Stone fragments from the priory are displayed in the local church together with the 16th century Pietà, carved from oak and painted.
The story goes that the last of the people who knew the secret passed it on as he lay dying and the sculpture was saved, to receive its place of veneration in the church built early in the 19th century.
The main street of Kilcormac runs between rows of 19th century houses, past the church where the Pietà can be seen, to a pleasant tree-shaded park by the Silver River.
