Appraisal
The modest exterior of this church is in many ways representative of early nineteenth-century Roman Catholic church building in Ireland. The stained glass windows and carved timber internal gallery add artistic interest to the building. The plaster groin vault is an interesting feature of the church. The ashlar piers and cast-iron gates and railings make a positive contribution to the setting of the church.
