St Marks Church Dublin

I recently got a chance to visit the crypt in St Marks Church Pearse St Dublin and have to write up a piece on the history of the church and the crypts. Unfortunately there is very little info on the web, I wonder would any one know of any websites or any history connected to this building, all help appreciated

Suggest you contact the RCB Library as the church used to belong to the Church of Ireland.

The book "The Buildings of Ireland - Dublin" has the information that construction started in 1729, but not roofed till 1752, apparently due to flooding. Apart from this it has little historical info, but has a page of detailed architectural description, if this is of interest you could PM me and I could send on.
