Combined former Methodist chapel and manse, built c.1850. The building also housed a schoolhouse. This ornate chapel, with its pointed arched hood mouldings, served a small Wesleyan Methodist community of shopkeepers, policemen and coastguards (1854-1908). It would be great if this building was renovated.
no info on this old rusty anchor, like to know the story behind it
This monument is located across from the chapel on Sky Road. On a sign it reads: The Celtic cross monument remembers Thomas Whelan, a native of Clifden and member of the Dublin Volunteers. He was executed in Mountjoy Jail on 14 March 1921 during the War of Independence for the murder in Dublin of a British Officer, despite strong evidence pointing to his innocence.
this is located on the bottom of the monument.

some of the houses you first see when you begin walking on Beach Road
nice pothole windows
right across the street from the houses
heading out to fish with his best friend
Fantásticas estas fotografias e gostei da capela que está a precisar de manutenção mas é um belo edifício.

Don't you just love the odd angles roads meet in Ireland?
ReplyDeleteI loved that very unique Methodist chapel & manse & great photos from around the town
It was a lovely calm morning to be out at sea.
Bill, what an interesting place to explore.
ReplyDeleteWhat a treat Bill.. such a lovely series of images. Yes I agree it would be wonderful if the Methodist chapel was renovated.. Do you think the anchor refers to the church's seafaring members? Love the dog heading out fishing ☺

ReplyDeleteThat manse, chapel, etc., is most interesting. And those other photos show a unique and very special place...love those porthole windows in that one house. I'm wondering how expensive a flat would be on the Beach Road... I think you made a wise choice when you chose Moville as a place to live!
ReplyDeleteSuch interesting images. I too would like to see the old Manse returned to it's former state. Such pretty greens.

The old chapel looks well worth renovating.
ReplyDeleteDespite needing a little work, that chapel is beautiful. I am curious about the anchor too!
ReplyDeleteThe chapel and manse should really be saved, I'm not sure I've ever seen an arrangement like that before with the two sharing equal halves of the same building. A splendid set of photos.
ReplyDeleteThe chapel looks like a good project for some brave person! What a nice walk that was!
ReplyDeletePoor Thomas Whelan. . . only 22! Bill, I love your photos and the information you include with them. This particular post requires some time really to appreciate what you are sharing with us. I have to go back and reread more leisurely. Thanks for our daily visit to your part of the world!
ReplyDeleteSome organization really should renovate that chapel. It's worth preserving.

ReplyDeleteI so enjoy walking around Ireland with you! Interesting views. You can take in so much more on foot and appreciate what you're seeing.
ReplyDeleteSo many interesting sights along this road. I really like the looks of that old building, especially the windows. I wonder what it looks like on the inside.
ReplyDeleteInteresting tour! That's quite a varied landscape.
ReplyDeleteA scenic road, indeed! I love that first building and hope it gets some TLC.
ReplyDeleteThat was a lovely virtual tour!
ReplyDeleteO edifício é belíssimo, deveria ser restaurado. E as casas tem uma arquitetura muito bela. Maravilhosas fotos.
