St Finian's church is a Church of Ireland building in the village of Newcastle, County Dublin. The core structures of the church, including the west tower and chancel, are dated to the 15th century.[2] These include a residential tower, attached to the church, in which the priest lived. In the late 15th century, an elaborate window was added on the eastern side.[citation needed] Other structures of the church date from redevelopments and expansion works in the late 18th century.[2]

Newcastle, at the edge of the Pale, was frequently attacked by the Irish striking out from the Wicklow Mountains; by the early 15th century there were six fortified tower-houses in Newcastle. The tower in the church is the only one still remaining in a habitable condition.[citation needed]

The Roman Catholic church in Newcastle, also dedicated to Saint Finian, was built in 1813.[3] Both churches, Catholic and Episcopalian, are included on the Record of Protected StructuresbySouth Dublin County Council.[1]
