Appraisal
The irregular form and plan of this church is representative of church building in Ireland in the latter half of the twentieth century. This church is an interesting modern addition to the predominantly nineteenth-century village. It forms part of an interesting group of religious structures at the centre of Nobber, with the parochial house and belfry to the north-west and the Church of Ireland church and graveyard to the south-west.
