Upperchurch

Upperchurch is a church building in County Tipperary featuring Romanesque architectural elements, located within the village of Upperchurch amid the Slieve Felim hills. The structure displays period details that shape the character of the rural settlement.

An earlier building was constructed in 1800 by parish priest James Clancy, but it was demolished in 1928 to make room for the current structure. This replacement reflects the parish's architectural evolution in the 20th century.

The church serves as a gathering place for the local community and carries the influence of parish priest James Clancy, whose work shaped the congregation. Visitors notice how the space brings together people from Upperchurch and Moyaliffe for shared moments and celebrations.

The building is accessible via the road connecting Newport to Thurles through County Tipperary, making it easy to reach by car. Parking is available near the village center, where visitors can leave their vehicles while exploring the grounds.

Parts of the original structure remain visible on the grounds as physical traces of the past. These remains tell the story of how the parish's buildings changed across different generations.
