054 St Matthew's Royal Chapel, Irishtown Road, 1976 [Church of Ireland]
St Matthew's was built in the early eighteenth century as part of a proselytising campaign by the Irish Parliament. The church was demolished in 1878-9 and rebuilt, leaving only the tower of the original church remaining. The church largely served Protestant sailors from the English packet boat and the fishermen of Ringsend village.
