It is known that there was a church in ruins in 1609 on this site. Shortly after that a church was built which seated 500 people. A tower was added in 1812. The foundation stone of the present church was laid on Ascension Day 17th May 1855. This Church of Ireland church, which stands on the site of all previous churches, was consecrated on 28th October 1856. The pipe organ was installed in 1907, the chancel floor was laid in 1955 and the church was re-slated, re-pointed and floodlit in 1992.
