Saint Mary's Church (Galtrim)

Board of First Fruits church, dated 1800. Two-bay elevation to south nave, blank elevation with projecting porch to north nave, three-stage castellated and pinnacled tower attached to west. Buttressed east elevation, with remains of earlier church to east. Pitched caulked slate roof, cast-iron rainwater goods, limestone string courses and dressings. Ashlar limestone entrance piers with cast-iron double gates. Graveyard and remains of earlier church to site.

This church exhibits many features which 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, such as the string courses, pinnacles and surrounds to the openings. The remains of the earlier church adds archaeological interest to the site. The setting of the church is enhanced by many of the carved stone grave markers to the site.
