Part 28 - Ruins of St. Senan’s Church, Inniscarra, County Cork

Black and white print

An image of the ruins of St. Senan’s Church in Inniscarra, County Cork. This Anglican church was built in the early Georgian period, with a tower added in about 1756. It was abandoned after the construction of new Anglican church in the locality in 1819. The older church is now in a ruinous condition. The church was dedicated to Senán mac Geirrcinn, an early Irish Christian missionary, who reputedly founded a church at this location in the sixth century. An annotation on the reverse of the print reads ‘Sweet Inniscarra’. The photograph is credited to Ita McNally, 11 South Mall, Cork.
