An imposing Gothic-style Catholic church, designed by George Richard Paine (1793 - 1838), and built on a site sponsored by the sixth Duke of Devonshire (1790 - 1858), forming a landmark in the townscape of Dungarvan. Very well maintained, the church retains most of its original form and character with important salient features and materials intact. The reserved treatment of the exterior, which relies on subtle cut-stone dressings for ornamentation, belies the decorative treatment of the interior, which is particularly noteworthy, and which incorporates numerous features of artistic design significance - ranging from the stained glass panels, decorative plasterwork, and the carved furniture to the altar (also including a carved Pieta by P. Scannell (fl. 1870), of Cork) together with features of technical importance, most notably the construction of the arcade and vaulted roof. A collection of cut-stone markers to the attendant graveyard enhance the artistic importance of the site, while the gateway and railings fronting directly on to Emmett Street are a pleasing feature in the streetscape.(Submitted on June 17, 2026, by Ian Lefkowitz of New York, New York.)
