Holy Trinity Church, Churchtown, Carne

The Holy Trinity Church located in Churchtown which is literally 2 minutes walk down the road from Crossfintan Cottage is well worth a visit.  The is now in ruins.  It no longer has its roof and the remaining structure of the Church is overgrown with ivy.  However, the graveyard is periodically cleared of overgrowth and is currently in a condition such that it is easily accessible to the public.  It is nestled between a charming new build 2 story cottage and the renovated stone work tractor sheds.  The Bishop’s House is very close nearby which in itself is a magnificent thatched mansion or “long house” which has been restored by its current owners. Reverend John Alexander is listed in the Griffiths Valuation records,  as “Landlord” of the Church in the mid-1800’s and lived in one of the houses in Churchtown located on “Glebe lands”.
