The Rev Kingsley Sutton says: “I thank Minister Heather Humphreys for taking time within her busy schedule to prioritise a visit to see inside the unique Church of the Ascension in Timoleague. Phase 1 of a substantial conservation project has now been completed and the conservation team is delighted with the immense interest that is being generated around this West Cork hidden gem.”
