The present church appears to be on the site of an earlier one of c.1800. Clontibret First Presbyterian Church was founded at Legnacreeve about 1715, and split into two communities in 1798, with a new Seceders' Meeting House built at nearby Braddocks in 1802. The two Presbyterian communities were re-united in 1905 and the churches at Legnacreeve and Braddocks are maintained to this day. The stained-glass windows of the church add artistic interest to the structure, in addition to the decorative funerary monuments of the graveyard in which the church is set. Of particular interest, too, is the bow-fronted pulpit to the interior, the cast-iron detailing of which shows some fine craftsmanship. Clontibret First Presbyterian Church played an important social role acting as a focal point for the predominantly milling rural community.
The Church Micro IE series is open to everyone; if you have a church you would like to place a cache at then please contact THE_Chris through Geocaching.com. This is to keep track of the numbers of the churches and give you the general format for the cache page. In the UK there are thousands in the series so we have some catching up to do! Also, if you currently have a published cache at a church that you would like to include in the series, get in contact and we can add it.
