English: The church was built in 1710, by Lady Francis Jennings, the wife of the Viceroy of Ireland, the Duke of Tyrconnel. The altar is flanked by galleries accessible by granite steps outside the building. It was originally thatched. It is believed to be the oldest Post-Reformation Catholic Church in the diocese. The interior was reordered in the early 1970s, and refurbished in 1997. See John McEvoy, John Duffy: The Churches of Kildare & Leighlin 2000 A.D., ISBN 2-7468-0293-7, p. 125
