The building
This Church of Ireland church was built by the Fuller family in 1770 on an elevated site overlooking Clara, comprising a four-bay nave, a semi-circular apse, and a stone lean-to vestry to the north. A four-stage crenellated tower rises to the north-west with a louvred oculus in its fourth stage, while the pitched slate roof features terracotta ridge tiles and tooled stone coping. Round-headed nave windows contain timber tracery and tooled limestone sills, the vestry holds paired pointed-arched windows with leaded lights, and the graveyard is enclosed by a random coursed wall with wrought-iron gates.
