ST MARY'S C.O.I.

Gothic Revival Church of Ireland built 1860 and consecrated 18/12/1860, to replace the church at the bottom of Barrack St. It was designed by architect Joseph Welland. He died before the building was completed. Some of the ornaments and dedications were removed from the old church and put into this new building.

GREAT WAR MEMORIAL

Memorial to the members of the Church congregation who took part in the Great War (WW1). Note -  not all of these were fatalaties. For instance Leopold Graham-Toler had been a P.O.W. and later fought with the Karelia Division in Finland post war against the Bolsheviks. Charles Foley is recorded here under his fathers name Seropian. Not only did he survive the war he was also awarded an O.B.E.

Significantly the women such as Lady Dunalley who played an equal part are not recorded..
