Place & story
A church given another life
The architectural inventory records Saint Peter’s as a former Church of Ireland building erected in 1815. Derelict by 1983, it was restored for another use in 1996. Red sandstone walls, granite window surrounds and a battlemented entrance tower retain its Georgian Gothic character. The survey distinguishes the restored interior from older fabric, recording reclaimed pews and an altar added in 2002. [2]
A farmhouse on the village street
The thatched farmhouse catalogued under the name Sinnott was already present by 1902. Its cranked T-shaped plan includes a central return, while small attic windows rise into the roof. Oat thatch covers part of the building, with corrugated iron and slate used elsewhere. Hazel or willow fixings and visible wire stretchers record practical roof construction alongside the street-facing sash windows. [3]
Community work recorded in 2017
Duncormick’s 2017 TidyTowns assessment noted the maintained Peace Garden and grotto, nature walks along the river and a workshop for children about bumblebees and solitary bees. It also recorded the group’s participation since 2011. This dated report documents local conservation and environmental education; its observations describe that competition year. [4]
