Courtesy Eamonn Langford, a tireless scholar:
The Baptism Font in Altar, Church of Ireland, Aughadown, Skibbereen, Co.

The bank building was up to recenly known as Allied Irish Bank. The Church of Ireland chapel at Cape Clear was built by the Island and Coast Society c. 1849 and consecrated c. 1853.
