About St Mary’s Church, Athlone

St Mary’s Church, Athlone was built between 1855 and 1865 in the Gothic Revival style. The church has a pitched slate roof. Notable features include a four-stage tower with a broach spire, stained-glass windows, window tracery and buttressed walls.

History

John Bourke designed the church in an Early English Gothic treatment. It was Athlone’s original post-Emancipation Catholic church and replaced several earlier chapels in the town; a monument inside commemorates its builder, Canon Kieran Kilroe.
