St. Colman's Church

When the Penal Laws were relaxed, Lord Gort donated land at a peppercorn rent for the church. This was originally built in 1825 by the Pain Bros. and has been modified and enlarged many times since then. The priest historian, Monsignor J Fahy once joked with Lady Gregory that its spire was higher than the one in the Protestant church. “What does it matter,” she replied, “aren’t they both pointing in the same direction!”
