The other church in the parish is at Martinstown, which
is also dedicated to Our Lady of the Assumption. The plaque over the church
door dates the church as 1834. The church was built under the leadership
of Jacob Walsh and was opened by Bishop Ryan. The church was renovated
a number of years ago when the gallery was removed.

of Independence. Another plaque was given by the Oblate Fathers in 1891.
The stained glass windows at the back of the church were given by Fr Mark

of the parish.
