EXPLORING AN ABANDONED CHURCH AND FEELING A SENSE OF LOSS, GONE FOREVER

No roadway leads up to this church, however if you hop a gate nearby its a short stroll up through the field to the old Leney Church.
Built in 1817, the church and graveyard are now in a terrible state of neglect. The inside of the church is completely overgrown, but the pillars and remnants of the stained glass windows look haunting through the branches. The only reference I could find about the church comes from a book written in 1908 “Leney was in very indifferent repair, a dirty earthen floor, the Communion table not railed in, no utensils.” (The Diocese of Meath by John Healy). At the altar the old handrails and bits of tile give a hint of how beautiful this place once was.
Taken from visions of the past.
Today this beautiful graveyard is overgrown, the church although very beautiful will soon fall, a notice on the gates is a cop out, a lazy wildlife sanctuary or just a notice of we can't be bothered.
you decide!
