Bence-Jones, p. 200](The Crawford Gallery collectioncontains two 18th century portraits of members of the Con nerfamily, presented by Miss Conner of the Manch Farm in 1987) Alsodesigned by the Pain brothers in 1826 was the small, butelegant, Anglican church at Buttevant. A number of suchchurches, mostly gothic in style, were commissioned by theChurch of Ireland Board of First Fruits, and designed by thePains; James Pain was their official architect for the Southernprovince. These same architects were also busy designing small,mainly classical, Catholic churches in county Cork during thissame period; for example, at Kinsale, Dunmanway, Bantry,Millstreet, Ovens, and the Ursuline Convent at Blackrock. [M.Craig, p. 262] The church at Kinsale is notable, as the priestresponsible for its construction, Fr. McNamara, became friendlywith John Hogan while in Rome in the autumn of 1827. McNamara,who was interested in the arts, accompanied Hogan to thearchaeological excavations at Herculaneum and Pompeii. OnMcNamara's death in 1845, Hogan was to design a superb marblememorial relief which was placed in Kinsale Church. [J. Turpin,p. 58]
