History
It was built as the O'Loughlin Memorial Church by the O'Loughlin family of Sandford's Court. The site was donated by
Marquess of Ormonde. It was built to designs by William Hague (c.1840-99), under the supervision of William Henry Byrne
(1866–1917).

The lack of ornamentation to the summit indicates that the additional stage and spire projected by Byrne in association with William Hogan was never executed.
