  Around Swords History
By 1641 Swords Castle was chosen as a rendezvous for the Anglo-Irish families of the Pale.
As it stands at the moment Swords Castle presents a vivid snap-shot of 15th century life, comprising a gatehouse, apartments for knights, a chapel, banqueting hall, the all-important Archbishops apartments and two large towers, one of which was the home of the area's constable and his family.
Swords Castle was lying idle for a number of years before it was bought from the Cobbe family by Dublin County Council in 1985.

I really know nothing about this church, but will hazzard a guess that it's old, probably dating from the 16th or 17th century.
I do know that the round tower was used for defense - when invaders would come, all valuables were moved from the church into the round tower, and boiling water, etc. could be tossed onto the invaders from the "murder hole" at the top (information source revealed on next page!).
