- Lullymore is the birth place of Captain Doorley, and he led the united Irishmen in the battle of Rathangan in '98 and Prosperous. He was offered a commission in the British army for his bravery at the battle of Rathangan. This he refused. He was afterwards hanged in Mullingar.
In the olden times there was a Monastery in Lullymore where the Churchyard is now. There is ruins of a Catholic Church which was one time the Parish Chapel. There is also the outline of a road leading to the ruins of this Church, this is called the Danes road.
