St Columba's stands on the site of an earlier Mediaeval church, which lay in partial ruins and was restored in 1578. The sole remnant of that church is the Bell Tower. The Mediaeval church continued to be used, in whole or part, until the present church was built in 1778, altered in 1811 and altered again in 1858. The exterior is plain; not so the interior, which is rich Victorian Gothic. The stained glass is particularly noteworthy. In the old baptistry stands a facsimile of the Book of Kells. To the left of the altar stands the grandiose Taylour monument, made from Kilkenny marble and erected in 1736 in memory of Thomas Taylour, Privy Councillor. Greater detail is available in The Churches partly compiled by the Meath diocesan archivist, Rev. Roy Byrne. The Church is open to visitors in the summer months Monday to Friday 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. and Saturday 10.am. - 1 p.m. Sunday Service ; 11.30 a.m. Also 8.00 a.m. (Summer) Daily Service (Summer months) ;10.00 a.m. Christians of all denominations welcome to receive the Eucharist.
