History

Designed by James Rawson Carroll, this Church of Ireland building was financed by donations from Sir Matthew Barrington and Lord Cloncurry. The construction cost £1,100, and the church was opened on 7 November 1870. It represents a development in church architecture, featuring a chancel and porches that distinguish it from earlier Board of First Fruits designs.
