The ruins of Donaghcomper church, situated in the district of Celbridge, are believed to date from around 1150.
In 1202, the de Hereford family, who founded St. Wolstans Priory, gave the priory control of the church at Donaghcomper. The priory of St. Wolstans held this church until its suppression in 1536.
Another family who were associated with this church are the Allens, whose vault lies under the church.
