Mansfieldstown Church

Built with limestone rubble and greywacke. Bellcote at W. Traceried window at E is a mixture of late medieval and nineteenth century work in limestone. S and N traceried windows are all of nineteenth-century limestone, but there are stone human head stop-mouldings on all of them which are late medieval, probably sixteenth-century in date. Another head appears over the apex of the arch of the E window. Church has undivided nave and chancel (ext. dims c. 12.6m E-W, c. 7.7m N-S) and is almost certainly fifteenth or sixteenth century in date, through it has later alterations and additions. The Episcopal Visitation of 1690 records: 'Church not in repair since the wars…' (Leslie 1908, 148-53). (CLAJ 1942, 107).

This is a National Monument, in state guardianship: No. 480.
