Christchurch Blackrock

Picture

Christchurch, Carysfort, Blackock

​Christchurch was located where the carpark is now on the corner of Carysfort Avenue and the Blackrock bypass. 
Thomas Kelly built the church with his own funds and opened it as a "Desenting Chapel", in the early 19th century. This break away group from the Church of Ireland were known as the Kellyites.  In 1855 the church was handed over to the Church of Ireland and was in use until 1960.  The Church closed in March 1960 despite a lenghty court case in which the parishioners tried in vain to keep the church open, it was demolished in 1961.  Part of the railings still survives, and the organ was transferred to Sacred Heart Church, Donnybrook.

Baptisms 1855-1891

Marriages 1878-1927
