This former church occupies a prominent position at the main junction in Moynalty and is an interesting feature in the streetscape, with its tower dominating over the village. High quality craftsmanship was clearly employed in the detailing of this church, particularly for the timber tracery, stone dressings, carved entrance piers and cast-iron gates. The setting is enhanced by the surrounding graveyard and boundary walls.
