History[edit]
Built in 1865, St Edmund's church replaced a school building which had been licensed for worship since 1843.[1] The construction of St Edmund's was supported by Bishop John Gregg and a local landowner, Colonel E.A. Shuldham, each of which contributed IR£500 to the church's construction.[2]
Cliff Jeffers has served as rector to the parish since 2014.[3]
Architecture[edit]
The church was designed by Cork architect Henry Hill.[4] The building features a three-bay nave.[5]
