This church exhibits many features that are typical of Church of Ireland churches which were built at the turn of the eighteenth century in Ireland, with funds from the Board of First Fruits. The simple architectural form of the building is articulated with limestone dressings. The setting of the church is enhanced by the carved stone grave markers to the site.
