Appraisal
Built in 1881, the congregation of this church was moved here form Saint Columbkille's Church in the grounds of Durrow Demesne. Its finely executed cut stone has been excellently conserved along with surviving stained glass, bellcote, dentils and ridge cresting. The abundance of surviving original features contribute the elegant design of the exterior of this church. It was sold in 1993 and is now a private residence.
