History
Aghancon Church was built in 1786 with a loan from the Board of First Fruits and assistance from Jonathan Darby. The plaque records it was constructed at the joint expense of Dr. Thomas Pery, Lord Bishop of Killaloe, and Darby of Leap Castle. The pulpit, prayer table and stained glass windows were apparently taken from Ettagh Church near Birr.
