Corraneary Presbyterian Church matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: A church representing an integral component of the late eighteenth-century ecclesiastical heritage of County Cavan with the architectural value of the composition, one succeeding an earlier meeting house 'built [1763] by a few individuals and thatched by James Blair of Tunnyhull [Tonyhull]', suggested by such attributes as the compact rectilinear plan form; the feint battered silhouette; the slender profile of the openings underpinning a "medieval" Gothic theme; and the high pitched roof originally showing a finish of 'black oak shingles by the carpenter William Snowden' (The Schools' Collection 1015, 184-6). This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
