St. Fachnan's Cathedral

Kilfenora

Restoration works to this active place of worship dating back to the 12th century included the re-roofing of the church, plastering of exterior and interior walls with a lime plaster and installation of underfloor heating and electric lighting. The philosophy governing the intervention was to seek to present the building as it might have appeared in the nineteenth century, resisting the temptation to restore its mediaeval appearance.
