CO. DUBLIN, SWORDS, CHURCH OF ST COLUMBA (CI) |
Date: |
1818a |
Nature: |
'The church has been lately re-built after a design suggested by Mr French [i.e.Michael Frederick Trench], of Heywood...skilfully carried into effect by Mr. Farrel, architect' (Brewer). 'The church, completed in 1818 by aid of a loan of £2500 from the late Board of First Fruits is a handsome building of hewn stone in the pointed style of architecture: the interior is fitted up neatly but without any display of ornamental decoration; a gallery, in which is an organ, extends across the west end; the east window is of modern painted glass. The belfry tower is that of the former church, which was allowed to remain when the rest of the edifeice was taken down; it stands a little detached from the main building.'(Lewis).
