On a wonderful leafy corner site in the heart of suburban Ballsbridge, Bartholomew's was designed in a Gothic Revival for Sidney Herbert, of the Earls of Pembroke. The original design was never completed, the unusual octagonal tower never received its intended spire. Although quite small, the exterior has a wealth of detail including the southern porch, and various doorways around the base of the tower. It is however the interior which is astounding.
