Burt Chapel
|
In 1966, Liam McCormick’s masterpiece: St Angus’ Church in Burt, Co. Donegal was opened. This took the primitive approach to modernism to a logical conclusion by linking it to actual pre-history. Located on high ground at the base of Grianan hill, it takes the form of the Iron Age hill fort as its inspiration. Its off centre spire, set over the altar, displays a modernist sensibility and marks the structure out as something new and not just a copy.
