What is recorded here

Detached Church of Ireland church, built in 1823, now in ruins. Comprising of three-bay side elevations to nave, with three-stage tower and ashlar spire having flanking bays to north-west. Castellations and pinnacles to tower, flanking bays and gable wall. Exposed rubble stone walls to nave with ashlar limestone corner buttresses, roughcast rendered to tower and flanking bays. Pointed arch window openings with ashlar limestone dressings. Surrounded by graveyard. Cast-iron gates, with stone gate piers and wheel guards to front.
Saint Schiria's is a fine example of nineteenth-century church architecture. The exterior is enhanced by the ashlar limestone dressings, particularly by the castellations and pinnacles. Unfortunately the roof has been removed and the church is becoming a ruin.
