 Holy Cross R.C. |
Holy Cross
was consecrated in 1864. It was built by Fr. John O'Sullivan who is buried in front of Our Lady's altar. The Architect was Charles Hansom. It is locally believed that Fr. O'Sullivan topped the spire of the church with a cock to crow over the local landlord's agent, whose office was in the Square and had refused him a site for the church. The most notable internal features of the building are the ornate chancel, the organ and the carved roof ( the wood for which from the Block Forest in Germany ). The Stations of the Cross were presented by Sr. M.F.Cusack ( The Nun of Kenmare ) |
