Naas Presbyterian Church is a Presbyterian church in Naas, Ireland.[2][3]

Architecture[]

The building is a four-bay structure. The use of limestone, granite and brick create a polychrome brickwork effect, popular at the time.[4]

History[]

The church was built in 1868 on the site of the former tholsel, John La Touche of Harristown laying the foundation stone.[5] Rose La Touche worshipped there in 1872.[6]

In 1916, a Boyle's patented air-pump ventilator was installed.[7]
