Our new sign over the door of Saint George's. We will, in time, erect something suitably permanent, but this will do us nicely for now.
We've been making fantastic progress with Saint George's since we became owners on 17th April 2019. The front has been repainted and refurbished and the inside is looking far nicer. The building is beginning to look fresh and feels lived in. The photograph on the left was taken early morning on 21st June. The image below was taken the same morning.

The organ in Saint George's is believed to be one of the oldest in Ireland.
It's casing is made of oak and there are crenelations and other detailing which indicate that it came from a big house and was not originally designed for a church.
Old organs of this type are very rare in Ireland and one of our hopes is that over time we will be able to source the funding to help restore it. We are happy to be able to say that it is tuned and all the keys are working thanks to the assistance of Derek Verso, who recently helped us with it. 2018
