What is recorded here
Single-cell church, built c.1820, with three-bay side elevation to nave. Sacristy added to north gable and pair of porches additions flanking south gable. Bellcote to north gable. Re-roofed, pinnacles added and windows replaced c.1998. Ashlar limestone entrance piers. Some interior features remain.
The modest exterior of this church is in many ways representative of early nineteenth-century Roman Catholic church building in Ireland. Though many of the original external features and materials have been replaced, and the interior re-ordered post Vatican II, some interesting internal features survive. Of particular interest are the hood mouldings which are terminated by render cherubs.
