About Church of the Immaculate Conception, Castletownroche

Church of the Immaculate Conception, Castletownroche was built in 1848. The church is built of rubble limestone. Notable features include stained-glass windows, a bellcote and a marble altar.

History

The church was originally built in 1848 under the aegis of Reverend James "Daddy Fitz" Fitzpatrick (d. 1858), with a design inspired by Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin (1812-52). It was substantially damaged by fire and rebuilt to the original plan in 1898 to designs by Samuel Francis Hynes (1854-1931), reusing much of the original fabric and introducing stained glass by Watson and Company of Youghal.
