Tullanisken Parish a Grade B listed church was built in 1793, the old church was destroyed in the war of 1641; and in the 15th of Chas. II. this parish was united to that of Drumglass, and Tullanisken church remained in ruins until 1792, when Primate Robinson dissolved the union and erected the present church, near the ancient one. It is in the later English style, with an embattled square tower, and was built at a cost of £553 British. The medieval church before, still has a protruding jab which is visible in the graveyard.
There are various memorials within the church and in the graveyard in honour of those of the parish who served their country. Amongst the number was Private Morrow, V.C. who had gained the highest honour it was possible to bestow on any member of the King’s forces. . A more recent addition, is a Grave Stone which was provided by the British Red Cross, in memory of a WWI V.A.D Member Nurse, Francese E Shortt, who was buried in the graveyard.
In 1863 the Tullanisken Bell was unearthed close to the church. It dates back to 900AD and was officially declared a treasure trove and can be seen in the National Museum in Dublin.
