Church of St Peter, Carrigrohane

St Peter's is built on the remains of earlier churches, the site having been used for Christian worship since at least the 13th century. Joseph Welland designed the main body of the church, and it was constructed in 1854. The chancel to the east side and later side aisle extension to the south were added by William Burges in 1865–68. Reverend Robert Gregg, son of Bishop John Gregg, Burges's patron at Saint Fin Barre's Cathedral, Cork, was rector from 1865 to 1874. Burges's commission, and the church, were modest; he was only asked to design an additional south aisle and vestry; but Joseph Mordaunt Crook, Burges's biographer, wrote that the design revealed "an original architectural mind". == Architecture ==

The church, in a Gothic Revival style, has a three-bay nave with a two-stage tower and gable-fronted porch. The church retains "numerous original features", including stained glass by William Gualbert Saunders, Henry Holiday and Burges. The main panels of their pieces of stained glass feature Temperance, Fortitude, and Justice. The makers were Lavers and Barraud. Crook considered it "predictably good." ==References==
