History
[edit]St Mary's Church was built on the site of an earlier church dating from 1723.[1] It was built to designs of the brothers, George Richard, and James Pain between 1823[2] and 1824,[3][1] with a transept added in 1835 by William Hill, of Cork, then the diocesan architect.[2] In 1893 the pews were replaced by William Henry Hill, who also panelled the chancel and added a window to the wall of the southern nave.[4]
Architecture
[edit]The church is built in the Gothic Revival style,[3] and contains an octagonal limestone font dating from 1637.[4] Among the tombs in the churchyard are two mausoleums (relating to the Morgan family of Kilnagleary, and Newenham family of Coolmore).[3]
