The church at Grange was built in 1773 as a chapel-of-ease to Armagh at the expense of Archbishop Richard Robinson and designed by his architect Thomas Cooley. It was erected in white stone (limestone) which was taken from a quarry about half a mile away. Its tall spire provides an eye-catching view from the Primate's demesne in Armagh. The transepts, added at the same time as the chancel in 1843, detract slightly from the facade as they project two blank walls out at the sides of the church. The church was not actually consecrated until 1782.
