What is recorded here

Freestanding five-bay single-storey H-plan former school, built c.1830, now in use as church with chancel to south-east. Pitched slate roof with stone eaves course, uPVC rainwater goods and timber bargeboards to gables. Rubble stone bellcote to southern gable, having rendered coping. Rubble stone walls with quoins. Pointed arch window openings with limestone sills, dressed stone voussoirs and rendered reveals throughout, having lead-lined stained-glass windows and timber Y-tracery.

Rubble stone enclosing walls with square-profile gate piers wrought-iron arch and gate.
Formerly a school, built and supported by the Leslie family, this building was modified to accommodate a new use for the local community at the end of the nineteenth century and has since remained in use as a Church of Ireland church. Its Gothic Revival style makes it a picturesque addition to the streetscape, and important contributor to the village's architectural diversity.
