Church of St Anne, Gort

The church was built around 1839 on a site given by Daniel McNevin, solicitor to the Forster family. It was originally thatched and later slated in 1846. Fr M. Connolly installed a marble altar in 1885. The church was rebuilt in 1911 under Fr Andrew Nestor, with Professor William A. Scott as architect. He added marble columns and arches at the transepts. In 1979, the building was reordered to meet Vatican II requirements, with a new altar, porch, and seating. The work was designed by Colm Keogh.
