There was an Anglican church attached to the asylum.[1] A new home for the asylum, along with a church, was constructed 1860-1862 at Leeson Park. The architect, selected after a competition, was James Rawsom Carroll.[2] One of the first chaplains to the asylum was Rev. Piers Edmund Butler. Later came Rev. Charles Marley Fleury. Chaplain in the mid-19th century was Rev. James Metge, of Carlow. John Duncan Craig was chaplain from 1873 to 1884.[3] Albert Hughes was chaplain in the 1920s and 1930s.
