| Summary: | St. Mary's Church of Ireland was built in 1810 at a cost of £2,204 pounds, six shillings and two oldpence. Over nine hundred pounds was a grant from the Board of First Fruits, the rest was raised by parochial assessment. It can hold six hundred persons and although the Union has increased in size, the congregation is not large. The church is described by Lewis in his topographical dictionary, as a plain edifice with a square tower and a spire. The spire is not there anymore and there is a local tradition that the spire was knocked off by lightning in the last century. |
