A landmark church in Cork city has launched a fund-raising drive to aid urgent repairs. St Vincent’s Church in Sunday’s Well, which opened in 1856, has had preventative maintenance work carried out to weatherproof the south face of the church, but a report has shown serious deterioration in the upper windows and surrounding plaster work.
The church contains stained glass by Mayer & Co. of Munich and William Wailes of Newcastle, and it is estimated that €60,000 will be needed to carry out the restoration works. Donations may be made to Gurranabraher Credit Union (account number 99-10-07 86027070) or by contacting the church at 122 Sunday’s Well Road, Cork, (telephone +35321 4304070).
