Seskinore Chapel of Ease, Seskinore Road, Seskinore, Omagh, BT78 2NS

Seskinore Chapel of Ease is a detached double-height Church of Ireland built around 1873–1880, erected on the McClintock estate to designs of Robert A Ferguson of Londonderry. It stands on the north side of Seskinore Road and exemplifies High Victorian Gothic architecture in black stone with sandstone trim.

The building comprises a rectangular nave with chancel to the east, a gabled porch to the west, and a single-storey hipped vestry to the south of the chancel. Roofs are pitched natural slate with masonry crested ridge tiles, stone verges on cavetto moulded kneelers, and a plain acroter to the east gable apex. Box profile cast-iron rainwater goods are supported on a corbel table throughout, with stone drains to the perimeter.

The walls are constructed of uncoursed squared-and-snecked rubble stone with a stugged finish, and sandstone quoins over a splayed plinth. Windows are cusped lancets containing leaded lattice stained glass in stepped stugged sandstone surrounds with splayed sandstone cills and voussoirs.

The principal elevation faces west and features a gabled porch at its centre. The exposed section contains a geometric plate tracery rose window with a cinquefoil and eight surrounding roundels, with stone voussoirs and hood mould over plain label-stops. This is flanked by blind quatrefoils to each side with stone voussoirs, all surmounted by a stepped stone bellcote with a single gothic opening and offsetting. The porch is detailed as the nave, with a central double-leaf timber panelled entrance doors within a stepped bead-moulded sandstone surround and gothic hood mould supported on head-stops. A blank trefoil sits at the apex, with a stained glass cusped lancet window with margin lights to each cheek.

The north (nave) elevation contains four windows. The east gable is abutted at its centre by a double-height gabled chancel. The chancel east gable contains a single geometric plate tracery window surmounted by hood moulding with carved label-stops. The left cheek is abutted by the single-storey hipped vestry, which has a single window to its right cheek. The vestry is accessed at the west through a square-headed timber-sheeted door within a chamfered sandstone surround, a replacement square-headed stained glass lattice window to the south, and a blank east elevation. The south elevation is four windows wide and is abutted at the right by the single-storey vestry with hipped roof.

The church sits within a churchyard including a car park to the south-west and graveyard to the north and east. It is bounded to Seskinore Road by a hedge and accessed through a curved wrought-iron entrance screen with ornate cast-iron piers supporting wrought-iron gates. A private burial ground immediately to the east of the church is associated with the McClintock Family.

The Chapel and graveyard do not appear on Ordnance Survey maps until the third edition of 1906, though Seskinore Lodge appears from the first edition in 1833. A church and graveyard are listed in Annual Revision Records from 1879, leased from GP McClintock and valued at £36 10s 0d. In the Annual Revisions of 1912–1929 the lessor changes to John K McClintock with no change in valuation. The church has strong historical association with the McClintock Family, who owned the estate prior to the church's erection. The associated house Seskinore Lodge was built around 1862, probably to designs of Sir Charles Lanyon.

The church is a good example of a small rural chapel of fine workmanship in original condition.
