[3] St. Mary's Church was built c. 1250 by Hugh de Mapilton, Bishop of Ossory.

[5] The chancel continued as a Church of Ireland (Anglican) place of worship until the 1970s.

The church is a nave and chancel with north and south aisles, which have four-arch arcades.

There are tomb-chests in the church but no effigies: one depicts a skeleton and another vaulting and tracery.

The north doorway depicts a carved head of a woman wearing a distinctive horned headdress of the Tudor era.
