Church

In the Church of Christ the King, there are three dark leaded glass windows (over the altar) which were designed by noted 20th-century stained-glass artist Harry Clarke in 1927.[1] The windows represent St. Barbara, St. Bernard and apparition of the Sacred Heart. There are no other features of great artistic interest in the church.

The church is in the Diocese of Tuam.
