Belleek Kilmalkeder Church 26th Edition Annual Bell Ornament 2013
The Annual Bell Ornament is based on Kilmalkeder Church.
St. Maoicethair who died in 636 AD founded a monastery at Kilmalkeder, the present church was built in the 12th century with the chancel extended in 1200 AD. The church is a fine example of Irish Romanesque architecture introduced from England and the continent in the 12 century.
It does also contain some purely Irish design such as the "antae" stone projections on the end of the Church that carried the bargeboards of the roof.
This would be a lovely gift to give your Belleek admirer.
