Place & story

Saint Patrick’s Church

Saint Patrick’s Church at Oram has a T-shaped plan, with pointed windows and carved crosses above its gables. Inside, exposed king-post trusses support a timber-panelled roof. A gallery at the southern end rests on two cast-iron columns. The architectural inventory records a marble altar and reredos, flanked by fluted pilasters, together with timber confessionals in the transepts. The building stands within grounds containing a graveyard. [2]
