History

Originally, the parish of Garrycloyne was served by a church on a different site. A new church was required due to the original's poor condition and distance from Blarney town. In 1766, an order was issued permitting the construction of a new church on the present site. [2] Construction began in 1771, to plans possibly made by architect John Morrison, and built by Sir James St John Jefferyes. [3] The Church of The Resurrection was completed in roughly 1776, [4] partly funded by the Board of First Fruits. [5] It has a glebe of 21 acres. A glebe-house was constructed in 1807. [6] The church was expanded by an unknown architect in 1837, [7] and an apse was constructed in 1861. [3]

In either 1996, [1] or 1997, [3] the interior was renovated and modernised. [1] The works "fundamentally altered" the building. [8]

Robert Ferris became the rector of the parish in 2020, having been Associate Minister there for eight years prior to his promotion. [9] [10]

Architecture

The church is cruciform, and built in the neoclassical style. This is unusual for a church built with funds from the Board of First Fruits, the majority of which were built the following century, and in the Gothic Revival style. [11] It is built in Doric order. [12] Above the gable of the south transept is a Latin cross made of limestone. [5] The belfry contains a bell taken from an older church in Athnowen, Ovens. [5]

The church features a piscina carved by Patrick Scannell.
