St. Columba's Church of Ireland church expresses architectural design and detailing. It is apparent that high-quality craftsmanship was employed in the construction of this church. Of particular note is the stonework, interior arch-braced open-truss ceiling and cast-iron entrance gates. This church is similar in plan and decoration to St. Patrick's Church of Ireland church in Newtowngore, County Leitrim.
