Church Renovations

A Little Piece of History


On Friday, 19 June, construction workers on Drumkeeran Church

found a remarkable piece of history.

As they removed slates from the from the south transept

they discovered the signatures of some of the tradesman

who worked on the work on the church at the time

it was built.



The inscriptions are as follows…….


John Whittaker, Sligo

September 20th 1872


Joseph Woods, Killargue

April 11th 1882


Charles Lennox

April 11th 1882


As these men wrote their signatures
little did they think that a time could come
when those same signatures would be read by people all over the world.
