What a sad sight, almost certainly a Church of Ireland building, in a country which is mainly Catholic. It stands in County Clare, and whilst ignoring recent history a webpage states "the church at Kilkishen is a small neat structure, with a square tower, built by a gift of £800, in 1811, from the late Board of First Fruits, and repaired in 1834."
A strange looking church in the Borders Region of Scotland. It appears to have a another tower behind the dumpy west tower, and spreads to the north with an aisle and what may be an outer hall.
(Photograph by Kevin Rae, on Geograph. He writes there "A beautiful Parish Church with a large and very well kept Graveyard, The church was founded in Norman times although all that survives from that time is the arch above the south west door. In 1904 when Lady Tweedmouth (An aunt of Sir Winston Churchill) died her husband remodelled the church where she is buried adding the tower seen in my Photograph in her memory.")
A most unusual interior. Homemade says:-
"Designed by E W Pugin, the priory was completed in 1864, the church in 1866, for the Augustinian (Austin) Friars. Unusual for a Pugin church, the pillars, reredos and altar are made of wood. The Friars first came to London in 1253, remaining until 1538. An area near Old Broad Street, where the original priory and church stood, is still known as Austin Friars. St Monica's became the first Augustinian priory in England after the Reformation" (from the sign outside this church)"
