Phil and Molly's Irish Scene HOMEPAGE139k. The Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Church of the Ascension, Timoleague

SCENES from IRELAND - County West Cork


The Catholic Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary was opened in 1912, built within sight of its predecessor, St Mary's.

Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary was the first church in the region to be built in the Hiberno-Romanesque style.

The round bell tower was added to the Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary in 1931 - mimicking the round towers found at many early Christian churches in Ireland.

There is also the Church of Ireland Church of the Ascension too. Both churches are well worth a visit.
