The area was a newly developing suburb in the early 19th century. [1] The Grand Canal was long established and Beggars Bush Barracks was built in 1827. [1] Catholic emancipation was also a factor in the building of the church. [1] The original architect is unknown, but the church is in the style of Gothic Revival. [1]
Ground for the church was broken in 1835 and the church was blessed in 1839 by Archbishop Daniel Murray. [1] At the time it had an earthen floor, no ceiling and no internal plastering. [1] Internal plastering was completed in 1842, a passage was added on the east side of the church in 1844 and wooden flooring replaced the earthen one in 1848. [1] In 1898 the frontage was erected - the architect was J. O'Callaghan and the builder was James Kiernan. [1] The bell tower was erected shortly afterwards to a design by Walter Doolin and is known as the Lee Memorial Tower after the parish priest the Very Reverend James Canon Lee. [1]
Nicholas Hawksmoor was an English architect. He was a leading figure of the English Baroque style of architecture in the late-seventeenth and early-eighteenth centuries. Hawksmoor worked alongside the principal architects of the time, Christopher Wren and John Vanbrugh, and contributed to the design of some of the most notable buildings of the period, including St Paul's Cathedral, Wren's City of London churches, Greenwich Hospital, Blenheim Palace and Castle Howard. Part of his work has been correctly attributed to him only relatively recently, and his influence has reached several poets and authors of the twentieth century.
