Buildings

St. James's Church Tower
The bell tower of St James's Church of Ireland is all that is left of a building that was erected by the Board of First Fruits in 1822. The tower was restored in the mid-1990's and a clock installed, which was manufactured by Samuel Elliott of Dublin. It is a local landmark from which some of the finest angling waters in the area can be seen off the Cloone to Ballinamore Road.
