Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “William Moore (bishop)” as church of Ireland Bishop of Kilmore, Elphin and Ardagh. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA strong orientation record where physical form, institutional use and historical geography need to be read together. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1858, 1930, 1915, 1882—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1858. The account is most persuasive where William, Moore and bishop can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the places & architecture register because the source frames it as church of Ireland Bishop of Kilmore, Elphin and Ardagh. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

The strongest evidence will usually combine a dated visual record with documents produced by the authority responsible for the place. The source revision retrieved here is dated Nov 3, 2022. The linked authority identifier is Q15039965. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1858, 1930, 1915 and 1882.

Critical limits

Modern boundaries and familiar names can conceal earlier jurisdictions or structures that do not align with the present site. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Treat names, boundaries and functions as historically changeable. Maps, plans, inventories and administrative records can clarify what the place meant at different dates.
