saint colmcilles church and graveyard

This classical-style church was built in 1827. Its site was donated by James J. Taylor of Swords House. The church has been altered over the years.

A two-storey vestry was added to the rear in 1879 and in 1924 the facade was altered by Francis P. Russell.

Among those interred in the graveyard are some prominent legends in Irish history, most notably A.J. Kettle (1833-1916), the famous Irish patriot who was known as Parnell's "right hand man".
