St. Mary's church is located in the village
square. It was built in 1722 and restored in 1890. It is the Protestant
Parish Church on the site of the original chancel of the medieval Priory
built in 1210 and incorporates a 15th century tower. There is a
statue of Mary Tighe (poet) in the Church grounds. Some interesting
tombstones can also be seen there.
This beautiful riverside village is within easy reach of many ancient
sites - Dolmens, Standing and Ogham Stones, Hill and Ring Forts, Passage
Graves and Rock-art, Stone Circles, Henges, Sheela na Gigs and High
Crosses.
Within the grounds of Woodstock Estate is the ruins of Sandford Castle
