Church of Saint John the Evangelist, Kilkenny

Church of Saint John the Evangelist, Kilkenny, Gothic Revival church in Kilkenny, Ireland.

The Church of Saint John the Evangelist, or John's Church, is a Gothic Revival church in Kilkenny designed by William Hague and built from 1903 to 1908 on the site of an earlier church in the graveyard. The grounds contain trees and greenery. The tower summit lacks ornamentation, showing that the extra stage and spire projected by William Henry Byrne with William Hogan were never built.

The Church of Saint John the Evangelist was built from 1903 to 1908 as the O'Loughlin Memorial Church, funded by the O'Loughlin family of Sandford's Court. It replaced an earlier church that stood in the graveyard on the same site. The land was donated by James Butler, third Marquess of Ormonde, and the design by William Hague was carried out under William Henry Byrne.

The church was built as the O'Loughlin Memorial Church by the O'Loughlin family of Sandford's Court, and the site was donated by James Butler, the third Marquess of Ormonde. The building is also known locally as John's Church.

The church stands on the site of an earlier church whose graveyard still surrounds the building, with trees and greenery on the grounds. The tower was left without its projected extra stage and spire, so its plain summit marks where work stopped. Look for the change in masonry where the tower ends.

The tower was meant to carry a further stage and a spire, projected by William Henry Byrne with William Hogan, but the plain, unornamented summit shows the scheme was never executed. The church was built as the O'Loughlin Memorial Church for the O'Loughlin family of Sandford's Court, on land given by James Butler, third Marquess of Ormonde.
