What is recorded here

Attached two-bay gable-fronted Gothic Revival-style Presbyterian church with projecting porch to entrance front, built c.1850. Now in use as private residence. Pitched natural slate roof with raised limestone verge to front (southwest) having a cut limestone finial on octagonal plan over. Pebbledashed walls with pointed-arched window openings having timber sash windows and cut limestone sills. Gothic-arched doorway with timber battened door to east side of projecting porch. Set in elevated position above road within graveyard with rubble-stone wall and wrought-iron gate to front. Located to the southeast of Castlepollard.
An attractive, small-scale Gothic Revival-style former Presbyterian church, which was last used as a place of worship c.1970. It is of significance as a reminder of the Presbyterian community in this part of Westmeath. Its proximity to the former front entrance to Kinturk House suggests that it might have had some connection with the Pollard family. The dressed stonework to the entrance gable and the cut limestone finial are of artistic merit. Prominently located just outside the town of Castlepollard, this building contributes positively to the heritage and streetscape of the area.
