Quin - St. Finghins Church

Across the River Rine from the Quin Abbey sits another delightful and overlooked ruin.
This is St. Finghin's Church.

Notes from an Irish web site say this:

"This large parish church was built between 1278 and 1287 by Richard de Clare and probably replaced
an earlier church on the site. It is dedicated to St. Finghin, a long forgotten saint of the early
Irish Church. It has a simple rectangular plan with an adjoining bell tower at the south-western
corner that was added in the fifteenth century. The most striking feature of the church is the triple
lancet east window separated by piers."

This view shows the triple lancet.
