Saint Flannan's Roman Catholic Church, Kinnitty
Detached gable-fronted Roman Catholic church, built c.1830, with cut sandstone frontispiece and belfry added c.1870. Set back from street on a height. Former school building to rear of churchyard. Statue and carved limestone grave marker to yard. Site bounded to front by random coursed sandstone wall and piers.
Standing on a height facing into the village of Kinnitty, this church displays fine craftsmanship with its ashlar southern façade, executed in local sandstone. Its use provides a textural variation, contrasting with the remaining rendered facade. Completed by its stained glass, statues and elegant bellcote, this charming church is an integral part of Kinnitty's streetscape.
