English: The church was built in 1885, designed by William Hague. The monastery founded by St Fortchern is located nearby in Killoughternane. At an adjoining site there was an older church St Anne's, from which the belfry survives. The top section of the altar's stained glass windows came from St Anne's Church and depict St Anne with Our Lady. The gallery was removed in 1990, and two internal porches were added. Three members of the Shannon family, who died when their home was bombed by German forces on New Year's Even 1941, are buried in the church's graveyard.
