Appraisal
Though this former Church of Ireland church appears simple and modest in external form and style, this is contrasted by the high quality of the interior fittings, including the stained glassed, well detailed open truss roof and beautifully carved marble altar. The later porch addition is a curious and quirky addition which adds character, while its carved doors are clearly the work of skilled craftsmen.
