Saints Peter and Paul’s Church was built to replace Carey’s Lane Chapel, a much smaller structure built in 1786. The present church was designed by E.W. Pugin, son of Agustus Pugin. The building was mainly built using Cork limestone (which is very rich in fossils) and Italian marble. The interior has the beautiful Cork red marble which also has fossils.
