old saint marys church

The exact date of the building of the parish church is uncertain. Some experts suggest that it was built in 1204 by William de Burgh. Other experts put the day later, however, the church was in use before 1228.

It is the town's most significant ancient building and incorporates several features of architectural interest - stained glass windows, one of which commemorates the family of William Tinsley, Clonmel's Victorian Architect.

Its most significant visual impact comes from the 84ft. high octagonal Bell Tower which was rebuilt around 1805.
