Board of First Fruits

The Board of First Fruits (Irish: Bord na Prímhide[1]) was an institution of the Church of Ireland that was established in 1711 by Anne, Queen of Great Britain to build and improve churches and glebe houses in Ireland. This was funded from taxes collected on clerical incomes which were in turn funded by tithes.

The board was replaced in 1833 by the Board of Ecclesiastical Commissioners.
