Full Description
Church, built in the 19th century, and associated graveyard. The church occupies an historical location, a church having stood here since the medieval period. An early church here was dedicated to St Neachtan. The present church was built in the 1870s but earlier churches of 1604 and 1790 were located here. A large graveyard surrounds the present church. To the north of the central bay is a tall, narrow former bellcote, which extends beyond the side elevation of the church. It used to be topped by the 1604 bellcote from a previous church, but this was removed in the 1960s and replaced with a simple gabled section. The bellcote, which is category B-listed, is now positioned in the graveyard. At the south end of the graveyard is the Tullynessle and Forbes War memorial (NJ51NE0170).
Period Notes
Older church on site said to be dated 1790; Belfry dated 1604; present church built 1876.
