Place & story
A later change to the approach
Killaloan Church in Killaloan Lower was built in 1825–27. The architectural inventory records a later change outside the building: in the late nineteenth century, its approach was altered to align directly with the avenue to Newtownanner House. The church itself combines a three-stage western tower with a two-bay nave and a lower chancel. By the 2005 survey it was roofless, though carved stonework and the east window’s tracery remained. [2]
