Architectural fragment in Galbally

Architectural fragment

What is recorded here

Galbally church lost its shape but kept its bones. Window jambs, mullions and a twisted column now stand among graves, perhaps marking the dead that the living forgot how to name. The church stopped being a church, yet it continued to divide inside from outside, to point upward, and to hold the shape of prayer.
