Place & story
An older tower beside later work
The architectural inventory records a 1707 rebuilding of Saint Mobhi’s Church on Church Avenue, Glasnevin. It suggests that the western tower may be older, while dating the eastern chancel to 1897 and the main porch to around 1898. A southern aisle has a copper-clad roof behind a battlemented parapet. Rendered walls, granite corner stones and exposed limestone in the upper tower distinguish parts of a building altered across several periods. [2]
