St Brigid, Tomregan, Roman Catholic

A well composed and proportioned church, now disused, standing in a prominent roadside location, replacing an earlier stucture in the same location. The building has a simple volume that is enhanced by detailing of a high standard of design and execution, and by the retention of many of its original materials and features. Built by Reb P. Donegan in the years before the Great Famine, the church is an excellent example of the type and standard of church design in the period after Catholic Emancipation and demonstrates the increasing confidence by the Roman Catholic Church. It contributes strongly to the traditional character of its setting and to the architectural heritage of Ballyconnell.
