Small church built between male and female infirmaries at the southern end of the Richmond Asylum site. Originally used by both the Catholic and Protestant faiths until the construction of a Church of Ireland by George Wilkinson, nearby on the site. Relatively simple, the lancet windows, with metal glazing bars, have fun little carvings on the hoodmolds. Later sacristy by W.H. Byrne of 1898.
