Place & story
The church and its neighbours
Rossinver’s Church of Ireland church stands at Kinlough, separately from Rossinver village. The architectural inventory dates it to around 1820 and records a tower rising in three stages above a three-bay nave. Inside, surviving features include gas lamps and a cantilevered stone staircase. A former primary school stands north of the entrance gates, while a pedestrian gateway south of the tower once connected with Kinlough House. The setting brings worship, education and an estate connection into one compact group. [2]
