Appraisal
A small-scale parish church of modest architectural aspirations surviving as an important reminder of the once-prosperous Church of Ireland community in the locality. Although having fallen into ruin following closure in the late nineteenth century the survival of many of the attributes gives an indication as to the original composition make-up of the church. Enhancing the setting value of the composition in a rural setting an enclosure contains a group of markers of some artistic design interest displaying fine stone masonry.
