The building

Built in 1861 on the site of an earlier chapel, the church was altered and extended in 1912 to designs by John Joseph McDonnell of Belfast. It features a four-bay nave, a chancel with a catslide annex, and a free-standing bell tower added in the mid-twentieth century. The interior contains stained glass by Richard King, a timber gallery, and a marble altar.
