S. JOHN, NEWPORT, TIPPERARY. — This was a hideous church of the pure Pagan style of the last century. Mr. Withers has, with much ingenuity, ' recast' it into a sort of Byzantine style, improving all the arrangements, and adding a chancel. The latter is correctly arranged, which we are particularly glad to notice in an Irish church; and the whole is a very excellent specimen of what may be done in the very worst of cases. [Ecclesiologist Feb 1867 page 60-61]
