There was a St. Kevin's Church (Irish: Eaglais Naomh Caoimhín) in what is now St. Kevin's Park, Camden Row, Dublin, Ireland at least as far as the 13th century. After the Reformation, it became an Anglican church. The original church was replaced around 1750 by a new one, closed in 1912 and now in ruins.[1] Both churches were dedicated to Kevin of Glendalough.[2] There is also a Catholic St. Kevin's Church a short distance away on Harrington Street.
