What is recorded here
Freestanding bellcote to rear of Saint Patrick's Church, dated 1878, comprising rendered plinth pierced by pointed arch pedestrian way and supporting carved ashlar limestone bellcote proper having round arched bell opening having moulded archivolt and imposts and with gabled top having projecting A-frame truss detail and topped with carved stone cross finial. Ornate details to each side of base of bellcote proper. Bronze bell to top opening. Inscribed limestone plaque to top of plinth.
This unusual structure, which would look more at home on the front gable of a late ninteenth-century church, displays excellent craftsmanship in limestone. It enhances the setting of the adjacent Catholic church.
This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
