The Stained Glass of St Senan’s Catholic Church

Join John Glynn for a talk about the history of the stained-glass windows by Harry Clarke Studios in St Senan’s Church on Toler Street in Kilrush. Harry Clarke (17 March 1889–6 January 1931) was a stained-glass artist, graphic designer, and book illustrator.

Lonely Planet recommends Saint Senan’s Church as well worth visiting, not only for the four windows by Harry Clarke but also for the Rose Window and windows by Professor Frederick Settle Barff.

John Glynn, who was born in Kilrush, has a keen interest in local history and photography. He exhibited at the 186th Annual Exhibition of the Royal Hibernian Academy in Dublin in 2016 and at the Kilkenny Photographic Society exhibition during the Kilkenny Arts Festival in 2016, 2017, and 2022.

The meeting point is St Senan’s Church, Toler Street, at 1:00 pm (after 12:00 mass).

This event is part of the Kilrush Heritage Quarter series, a collaboration of Kilrush community groups and businesses for National Heritage Week 2024.  Full details here; https://www.facebook.com/events/795577572776525
