St. Mary's Roman Catholic church has undergone many changes since its construction in 1824. However, it retains its original plan with the addition of the chancel which adds interest to the church. The cast-iron bell stand located adjacent to the church and graveyard all enhance the setting of the church. The inscribed date plaque records the date of the church and priest responsible for its construction, Rev. Patrick Magauran.
