About The Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Lenamore

The Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Lenamore was built in 1838. It has a four-bay nave and rendered walls under a pitched slate roof. Notable features include stained-glass windows, a bellcote and a marble altar.

History

The church replaced an earlier T-plan chapel located southwest of the current site, with grave markers from that period dating to 1814. It was extensively renovated c. 1960 and reopened on 18 July 1961. The adjacent graveyard reportedly contains burials of Great Famine victims and those who died at the nearby Granard Union Workhouse between 1842 and 1930.
