Due to increasing numbers of people moving from the centre of Dublin to the suburbs, the original church here was replaced by this much larger church, built in ‘Victorian Gothic Revival’ style and opened in 1818. It was extended again in the 1860s and 70s. Christ Church has recently been given a peal of eight bells, famous for their mention by the writer James Joyce. They came after the closure of St George’s in the centre of Dublin, where Joyce had heard them, and were installed at Taney by public subscription, and first used here in 2000 to ring in the new millennium Link
