Nave

Standing now in the nave, the main part of the church where the congregation sit, notice the oil lamps suspended from the ceiling; electric lighting was installed in 1930, but these remaining lamps are an attractive original feature. The pews are of Riga oak and, like the font, were made by A. P. Sharp; the same firm supplied the choir stalls, the pulpit, and the steeple. The aisle between the pews is paved with a ceramic mosaic designed by the architect, George Ashlin, but if you look at the floor towards the sides of the church you will see wooden paving, and this is made of Irish bog oak. The stained glass windows in the nave show scenes from the Life of Christ.  These are again the work of Heaton, Butler and Bayne and date from around 1900. This is also a good spot from which to admire the marble columns that are incorporated into the walls at various places and into the great archway that separates the chancel from the choir: the marble was sourced in Galway, Cork, and Kilkenny.

Please move to the top of the nave to look at the pulpit.
