1919 – St. Patrick’s Church, Newport, Co. Mayo

Church in an amalgam of Irish and Germanic Romanesque, built with a donation of £10,000 from Martin Carey. Started in 1910, and probably the masterpiece of its architect R.M. Butler and one of the most striking early 20th century churches in Ireland. The external austerity is relieved by the central tower on the main front with a circular staircase turret, and the Irish inspired round tower on the secondary elevation.

There are three aisles, the center one barrel vaulted and supported by columns. The large window behind the altar, which is really made up of three windows of equal size, is often called “the Three Sisters” but is more commonly known as “the Last Judgment window”. It was the last work executed by the late Harry Clarke (1889-1931). It was installed in the church at Newport in February 1931.
