1978 – St Patrick’s Church, Eskra, Co. Tyrone
Architect: Carr Sweeney O’Farrell
On 20 August 1978 the present St. Patrick’s Church was dedicated by Bishop Mulligan of Clogher. Illuminated internally by a continuous clerestory strip that casts light on the large wooden beans that support the roof. The altar stone, the tabernacle, the bell and two fine restored statues were transferred from the old church to highlight the link with the past. Stained glass by George Walsh of Abbey Studios. The Abbey Stained Glass Studios were founded in 1944 by the Ryan family and the Studios were then based in Abbey Street, Dublin, hence the name.
