THE CHURCH :
Killaloan Church of Ireland church built in 1825-27 during a post-Napoleonic Wars boom. This boom was augmented by a bonanza of Church building in Ireland. The Church had capacity for 100 worshipers and seldom had more than 80 parishioners draw from the Osborne Family's Newtown Anner Estate and the nearby Best family estate at Annerville. The Church was constructed to a familiar rectangular design of bell tower facing west and altar facing east. The Church was deconsecrated in 1964 with the roof removed alongside precious memorial tablets. The building contains high quality masonry, with cut and carved stone and coloured mosaic fragments at the sanctuary showing it to be a fine example of 19th Century craftsmanship and the status of Church building and architecture at the time. Local Clonmel man William Tinsley built many fine churches in the area and may have been responsible for Killaloan Church.
A graveyard surrounding the Church was taken into ownership by Tipperary County Council on deconsecration of the Church and with the Councilâ??s assistance, the Graveyard has been maintained by local family members whose loved ones rest there. This wonderful team not only care for the upkeep of the graveyard but also renovated the Avenue some years ago.
