About Glasnevin St Mobhi

Glasnevin St Mobhi was built around 1898. It has a five-bay nave and rendered walls under a pitched slate roof. Notable features include a three-stage tower, crenellated parapets and window tracery. The church stands in its own graveyard.

History

This Church of Ireland church stands on the site of an early medieval church and sixth-century monastery founded by St Mobhi. The nave was rebuilt in 1707 onto a tower that likely dates from before 1707, while the east chancel was constructed in 1897 and a south aisle was added during the nineteenth century. The enclosed graveyard off Ballymun Road serves as a burial ground for both Catholic and Protestant families.
