  St James Church Charlestown, diocese of Achrony. Original Plaque at rear of Church reads To the greater glory of God. This Church having been erected by the exertions of Charles Strickland Esquire, of Lough Lynn House in the County of Roscommon was commenced on the feast of St James the Apostle, July the 25th 1855 and consecrated on the 3rd of November 1858, by the Right Rev Dr Durcan, Bishop of Achonry. I have loved O Lord the beauty of thy house, and the place where thy glory dwelleth.
