Place & story
Saint Anne’s at Kilnagrange
Saint Anne’s Catholic Church at Fews stands in Kilnagrange. The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage dates its cruciform building to about 1815 and suggests that it may incorporate an earlier church: a stone bears the date 1802. Its features include pointed windows, decorative glazing and a slender bell turret. The entrance gateway is dated 1923, adding another period to the site’s history. The inventory also records extensive renovation around 1990, alongside the churchyard’s cut-stone memorials and table tombs. [2]
