Shancroghan, Killashandra, Secession Presbyterian

An unassuming Presbyterian church that retains its historic form and many of its features. The unadorned interior with simple timber furniture is characteristic of the arhitectural simplicity of many Presbyterian churches. The attached former manse/parochial building and adjacent ruined school which was closed c.1900 add to its setting and context and together are a reminder of the long social heritage of the Presbyterian community in the area. The church is surrounded by a graveyard with some nineteenth and twentieth century cut-stone memorials of artistic merit and genealogical interest. The simple boundary walls, gate piers, and gates complete the composition.
