LIAM MCCORMICK AND SEVEN DONEGAL CHURCHES

Liam McCormick, a prominent figure in Irish architecture and "father of modern Irish church architecture," has designed around 30 churches, including three in England.

Seven of them were designed and built in Donegal - in my opinion, the most spectacular and unspoiled region on the island, full of history and amazing landscapes. Among all these - beautiful, unique and distinctive stylistically architecture.

This gallery is a record of two short trips (August 2020 and April 2022) during which I visited and photographed all seven churches.

A kind of architectural and photographic pilgrimage.

- St Peter’s Church, Milford (1961)

- St Patrick’s Church, Murlog (1964)

- Star of the Sea Church, Desertegney (1964)

- St Aengus’ Church, Burt(1967)

- St Michael’s Church, Creeslough (1971)

- St Conal’s Church, Glenties (1974)

- Donoughmore Presbyterian church, Liscooley (1977)

Please note:

The gallery is not chronologically arranged (by the list).
