Aghadown (Church of Ireland)
This church, raised on the site of an older building, was consecrated in the name of Saint Matthew on 20 Sep 1814. Worship was removed to a more inland site in 1873, but the churchyard and church interior remained in use as a burial ground. Generations of Swantons, Shannons, Sweetnams, Trinders, Wolfes and Bechers are buried here.

Hi there. I like your photo of Holy Trinity Church, Schull. I am trying to revamp the website and am looking for good quality photos. Would you be willing/ grant permission to let me use the image for that purpose? Canon Paul Willoughby, Kilmoe Union (Schull, Altar & Crookhaven)
