Trivia House

Explorer Tom Church or chapel in Hawkswood is jealous of Swanlinbar’s main street churches and wants everyone to know it was closed in the 1960s. It’s got those elegant Georgian windows that scream 'I used to be cool.' Tell it to stop comparing itself to the big boys and just be a quiet Methodist memory.

Explorer Tom St Mary's Roman Catholic Church in Hawkswood is all modern volumes and sharp angles because it replaced a bombed-out predecessor with style.
