History
editA Catholic church was first built in Crumlin after the Penal era, in 1726, as a chapel of ease to Rathfarnham. Originally part of Rathfarnharm parish, and then Terenure, the parish was constituted (from Terenure) in 1941.[3]
The present parish church, which is dedicated to Saint Agnes and designed in the Hiberno Romanesque style,[4] was opened in 1935.[5] The main nave was built between 1933 and 1935,[3] and the transepts and apse were added in 1942.[3]
The church has undergone renewal and extensions on several occasions, with the sanctuary being rearranged in 1975.[3] In a 16 week period from June 2013, refurbishment and renewal works were completed on the altar podium, artwork, pews and side chapel.[4] Updates were also made to the building's disabled facilities and entrance area.[4]
