Appraisal
The form and materials utilised in the construction of this church, by W.H. Byrne are representative of the mid twentieth century. The copper-clad roof and concrete dressings are interesting features of the building. The stained glass windows add artistic interest to the site. The snecked ashlar limestone walls contribute to the setting.
