A distinguished Gothic Revival Anglican Church of the Church of Ireland located near Carrigaline, County Cork, Ireland, completed in 1824, and dedicated to Mary, the mother of Jesus. It is in the Diocese of Cork, Cloyne, and Ross.

History

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

The Church is built in the Gothic Revival style.[3], and contains an octagonal limestone font dating from 1637.[4] The Churchyard contains a number of interesting tombs, including two mausoleums (Morgan, of Kilnagleary, and Newenham, of Coolmore).[3]
