It is listed in the Record of Protected Structures maintained by Waterford City and County Council. Its grounds include a large cemetery. It was built on the site of an earlier church in 1826, with its construction being led by Fr. Denis O'Donnell, who was parish priest in Tallow from 1812 until his death in 1830. He celebrated the first mass held in the new church on 24 November 1827. In 1868 a bell tower and front porch was added. A spire with a cross at its summit initially adorned the tower, however this was removed some time after 1930. Ahead of the church's' bicentenary, in 2024 a major renovation project was launched to secure the integrity of the building. Phase 1 of the project, costing €133,000, was finished in early 2025 and involved the restoration of the church's north face, addressing water ingress which had caused damage to the interior's Italian-painted fr ...

19th-century Churches In The Republic Of Ireland
The 19th century began on 1 January 1801 (represented by the Roman numerals MDCCCI), and ended on 31 December 1900 (MCM). It was the 9th century of the 2nd millennium. It was characterized by vast social upheaval. Slavery was Abolitionism, abolished in much of Europe and the Americas. The First Industrial Revolution, though it began in the late 18th century, expanded beyond its British homeland for the first time during the 19th century, particularly remaking the economies and societies of the Low Countries, France, the Rhineland, Northern Italy, and the Northeastern United States. A few decades later, the Second Industrial Revolution led to ever more massive urbanization and much higher levels of productivity, profit, and prosperity, a pattern that continued into the 20th century. The Catholic Church, in response to the growing influence and power of modernism, secularism and materialism, formed the First Vatican Council in the late 19th century to deal with such problems an ...

Fresco
Fresco ( or frescoes) is a technique of mural painting executed upon freshly laid ("wet") lime plaster. Water is used as the vehicle for the dry-powder pigment to merge with the plaster, and with the setting of the plaster, the painting becomes an integral part of the wall. The word ''fresco'' () is derived from the Italian adjective ''fresco'' meaning "fresh", and may thus be contrasted with fresco-secco or secco mural painting techniques, which are applied to dried plaster, to supplement painting in fresco. The fresco technique has been employed since antiquity and is closely associated with Italian Renaissance painting. The word ''fresco'' is commonly and inaccurately used in English to refer to any wall painting regardless of the plaster technology or binding medium. This, in part, contributes to a misconception that the most geographically and temporally common wall painting technology was the painting into wet lime plaster. Even in apparently '' buon fresco'' technology ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
