Glenflesk’s St. Agatha’s Catholic Chapel
A welcoming church in a picturesque location.
St. Agatha’s church in Glenflesk.
A few details from the NHBS site
Full-height interior open into roof with central aisle between timber pews, pointed-arch arcade (north) on cut-limestone pillars, exposed scissor truss timber roof construction on cut-limestone beaded corbels with timber boarded ceiling on carved timber cornice, and pointed-arch chancel arch framing stepped dais to sanctuary (east) reordered, 1974, with replacement mosaic tiled reredos below stained glass “East Window” in glazed ceramic tiled surround. Set back from line of road in relandscaped grounds. NOTE: Designed by James Joseph McCarthy (1817-82) of Great Brunswick Street [Pearse Street], Dublin (The Dublin Builder 1st April 1862, 85). Stained glass (1932) by Richard King (1907-74) reclaimed (1974) from Collis-Sandes House (see 21302907).
Because the blue windows are very dark, they have placed them side by side with panes that allow the light in. The church interior is still dark and cool, a welcome sanctuary on a sunny day.
