Kilronan Church — BALLYMACARBRY 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 ecclesiastical heritage of County Waterford with the architectural value of the composition, one allegedly erected by Abraham Coates (----) of nearby Glenahiry Lodge and thereby attributed to William Tinsley (1804-85) of County Tipperary, suggested by such attributes as the compact rectilinear plan form, aligned along a liturgically-incorrect axis; the slender profile of the openings underpinning a "medieval" Gothic theme; and the overgrown bellcote embellishing a high pitched roofline as an increasingly obscure eye-catcher in the landscape. This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
