In 1220 the land was the property of Waryn de Peche, Lord of Lucan, who founded the monastery of St. Catherine, near Leixlip. In the reign of Richard II. The Priory fell into such poverty early in the 14th century that Richard Turnour, who was Prior in 1323, and the canons obtained a royal license to assign the priory and all its possessions to the Abbey of Saint Thomas in Dublin.
