In Agher Church (c. 1904) stands a rare example of an 18th-century painted enamel stained glass window by the Irish artist Thomas Jervais (d. 1799), which underwent urgent conservation work with the assistance of the Irish Georgian Society in 2016.

Agher Church as seen today was completed in 1902, and was built on the site of an older church dated from 1804. In the Church stands a painted enamel stained glass window by the Irish artist Thomas Jervais (d. 1799), which underwent urgent conservation work in 2016, supported through grants from The Heritage Council & The Primrose Trust. Visitors will have the opportunity to view the window in situ and learn about the significance of this rare example of 18th century Irish stained glass.

At this Heritage Week open afternoon on Saturday 25 August, visitors will have the opportunity to view the window in situ and learn about the significance of this rare example of eighteenth-century Irish stained glass.

Admission is free, and Agher Church will be open from 12pm to 4.30pm on Saturday 25 August.
