This parish church has a 14th century chancel. The west tower, nave and south transept date from 1693-5. Further restoration and alterations were carried out in 1889 and 1910-12 and during the 1920s and 30s.
Major Geoffrey Lee Compton Smith was captured by Frank Busteed as he alighted from a train in Blarney Railway Station on April 16th 1921 and was held and hidden in the Donoughmore area for some weeks. Despite a massive search by the British he was not located. He was murdered shortly after four Irish terrorists were executed by the British Authorities.
