The ecclesiatical site in Kinsalebeg overlooks Ferrypoint, an important crossing point of the River Blackwater to & from the medieval town of Youghal. The earliest reference to a church at this site dates from the ecclesiastical taxation of 1302-6, where the church of Kynsale was valued at 121.
In 1470 a papal indulgence was granted to aid the repair of the church, the text of this indulgence stated that the church was 
"notable among the parish churches of those parts, that therein there were many magnates and noble parishioners, that it was decently and honourable built, and that it was provided with pavements and other ornaments"

By 1746 it was noted that "the church.., though not long since roofed, is going (for want of repair) into decay, although it is not clear whether this referred to
the medieval church or a later bulding. Power (1894-8, 200) located the medieval church just to the north of the modern church but no trace of it now survives

A 17th century graveslab, Elizabeth Lancaster,  was noted at the SE angle of the present church. It is now lost. It has a blank shield in the centre of the slab and a marginal inscription in Roman capitals: SVB HOC MARMORE IACET SEPVLTVS CO/ RPVS ELIZABETHAE PVDICAE CARAE VXORI S [ IOHANNIS LANCA] STER PRAECENTs LISMORENs/ FILIA EDWARDI HARRIS AEQVITIS/ AVRATI IVSTICIARII DNI REGIS/ CAPITALIS PLACII HIBERNIE, OBIT 8 NOVEMBRIS ....
