1860 – Church of the Assumption, Wexford, Co. Wexford

On of Wexford’s “twin churches”, these Neo-Gothic buildings were opened in 1858 and the twin spires are part of the unique skyline of the town. Each Church is dedicated to The Blessed Virgin, Bride Street to the Assumption, and Rowe Street to the Immaculate Conception. The estimated cost of the Churches was in the region of £16,000 each, for the completion of structure and essential interior furnishing. The actual cost of completing both Churches inside and out, the laying out of the grounds, the building of boundary walls, etc., was to cost much more – £54,000.
