Lantern slide of Holywell Church, Belcoo, Co. Fermanagh. Originally labeled as '10' with titled 'Holywell Church Co. Fermanagh. East Gable Repaired.' The site's name derives from a spring well dedicated to St. Patrick that is located close by. This small church is located by the grave yard where there are also bullaun marked stones. Their presence would suggest the site's link to early Christian worship or perhaps earlier pre-Christian rituals. Pictured is the east gable located at the east side of the altar, with its narrow pointed window in early Gothic style. These windows may have been a later addition to the church, but is foundation date is unclear. Its interior splay is square-headed with a stepped still and lintel. In 1930, under the work of Canon M'Kenna, the church underwent some seriously needed restoration. The east gable can be seen in the slide without the large crack that once ran down its side.
