Historical Introduction
1890 y․

In the early 1890s, a visitor wrote, “…It has…a large church built of stone and mortar, with its roof lying in ruins.”

1986 y․

By 1986 the sanctuary had been replaced by a school founded over its remnants. The walls of that institution bear some finely-dressed stones, which suggests that at least the cornerstones of the church were finely-finished.
