Mount Stuart

According to the National Inventory Architectural Heritage: Detached three-bay double-height single-cell Catholic church, built 1826, with single-bay single-storey gabled projecting porch to west, and single-bay single-storey sacristy to east. Renovated and refenestrated, c.1975.

A well-composed, modest-scale church, the simple quality of which attests to a period of construction predating Catholic Emancipation (1829). Well maintained, the church appears to retain most of its original form together with some early salient features and materials, while replacement fittings do not detract considerably from the historic character of the composition. The church is located in a picturesque setting, surrounded by a courtyard that is accessed by a tree-lined avenue. A group of grave markers and a memorial statue enhance the artistic design quality of the site. The church is of additional importance in the locality for its historic associations with Lord Stuart of Decies (n. d.), who financed the erection of the building.
