History
St. Brigid's Church bears a foundation stone with the date "1786" and the church was consecrated on 28 August 1788.[3][4][5] The gates outside were added c. 1860.[6] St. Brigid's was renovated in 1913–15, with a Gothic Revivalaltar in white and red marble added, as well as the stained-glass windows in the west (probably by Joshua Clarke and Sons).[2]
