The Chancel was modified in
the renovation work of 1995-1996. The floor area was enlarged and
removable communion rails installed to provide more space and greater
flexibility. The height of the floor was also raised to give greater
visibility. The chancel walls are made of red dressed Ballycastle
freestone.
The Henry Stewart O'Hara
Memorial Tablet summarises this man's very significant ministry.
The Reredos, the
intricately carved stonework behind the Communion Table, portrays
aspects of the Person and Work of Christ. The first televised Anglican
Communion Service from an Irish church took place here in December
1962 under the direction of Canon W.J.R. Benson (Rector 1962-1977).
