Place & story
An early core and later work
The Kiltullagh Killimordaly community website dates the oldest part of Killimordaly Church to 1723. It records two extensions and a renovation in 1989, without assigning dates to the extensions. The 1723 date therefore concerns the earliest part identified in that account, rather than every part of the present building. The same local history records a separate church at Clooncagh, built in 1912 and renovated in 1988. [2]
