Place & story
Restoration and enlargement
Saint Mark’s at Killylea was built in 1830 as a chapel of ease for Tynan parish. The Dictionary of Irish Architects records restoration tenders in July 1865 and completion by July 1867, including new stained glass. A new chancel and vestry followed, with the church reopening on Easter Sunday 1874. Richard Cherry of Loughgall was the contractor for that later work. [2]
